Tasting #1 - [ yellow tail ] Pinot Grigio



Name: [ yellow tail ] 

Variety: Pinot Grigio

Region: South Eastern Australia

Country: Australia

Year: 2022

Price: $5.99

Review: Christina Pickard gave an 82 overall rating to this wine with "ripe, synthetic stone and tropical-fruit aromas". However, she believes the "acidity feels forced" and that there's an "unpleasant plastic note on the finish". (from winemag.com)

My Take: In agreement with Page 149 of WINE FOLLY, this Pinot Gris possesses a very sweet flavor and is somewhat acidic. This pink grape mutation wine did not taste dry at all to me. I ate it with Asiago cheese and it seemed like the cheese took away some of the acidity of the [ yellow tail ] and I was left with a smoother drink.
