My Review:
The aromas of this wine instantly remind me of fruit, especially cantaloupe and raspberry with very slight hints of pear. It also has floral rose notes. However, on the tongue this semi-sweet wine gives very different flavors of pineapple and almost pickle which is likely due to the acidity. Wet grass also sneaks through on the finish which is kind of a nice pairing with the fruit.
Wine Folly:
I was able to pick out the cantaloupe before even reading the Wine Folly tasting notes which makes it seem like a prominent flavor. I can see the lemon/citrus being confused with pickle as they are both acidic. (Wine Folly pg. 149)
Additional Tasting Notes
Cheap Wine Ratings:
"This Pinot Grigio is really herbal on the nose, with a sage-like and hay fragrances. There are also some lemon aromas. The palate is restrained, and has flavors like pear and apple with lemon drizzled over it. The acidity is sufficient and the mouthfeel is nice. It finishes with lingering tart apple flavors." (Review: Ruffino, Lumina Pinot Grigio - Cheap Wine Ratings)
Surprisingly the flavors noted in this review more closely align with the aromas I noted rather than my flavors. This is likely because I am still developing my palate and learning to identify flavors/smells.
