Gnarly Head Pinot Grigio 2008: Review


13% abv
Gnarly Head Cellars
Manteca, California, USA
Gift from Dorthy

Appearance: a crystal golden wheat color

Aroma: pear and apple

Flavors: apple pear (see picture), jazz apple, nice spiciness with a faint touch of pink peppercorn on the finish. 

Mouthfeel: this is a nice bold Pinot Grigio, medium bodied white, interesting flavors on the tongue and a nice spice that lingers on the aftertaste. 

My Strength Rating: 4.5

Here is what they say on the bottle, “This racy wine takes off with aromas of ginger and pineapple.  Crisp flavors of pears, apples and stone fruit flood the palate and the finish ‘kicks out’ with style and grace.”

I like their description.  I can go for the ginger note they describe.  I am not picking up on the pineapple note – how about you, if you have tried it?

To the Point: I really enjoyed this wine.  Had prawns and scallop kabobs for dinner and this wine was very nice with the kabobs.
