Tasting - Takutai Pinot Gris



Name: Takutai Pinot Gris
Variety: 100% Pinot Gris
Region: Nelson  
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: Regular $21; Sale $6.95

Shop Review: "Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in teh flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It's full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy." 
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: The smell of this wine was really nice, with strong white grape and apple notes. The wine itself was smooth, with strong end notes. Despite the distinct smell the wine had, I was having trouble picking up any specific flavors other than "white wine." 

Tasted without food.
