Wine Tasting - Elementalist - 2021 Pinot Grigio


Name: Elementalist

Variety: Pinot Grigio

Region: Mendocino, CA

Country: United States

Vintage: 2021

Price: $6.99

My Review: 

Aromas of banana and apple as well as honey. Semi dry on the tongue with flavors of apple a little bit of saltiness and slightly earthy making this not my favorite pinot grigio but definitely interesting.


Wine Folly:

The white peach and cantaloupe similarly give the banana notes I got. The salty flavor I got may also be indicative of nutty flavors common in Pinot Grigio.  (Wine Folly pg. 149)


Additional Tasting Notes

Reversewinesnob.com:

"Aromas of white peach, key lime and orange blossom combine with crisp acidity, subtle pear notes and a whisper of melon. Pairs well with appetizers or salads – anything that is light and refreshing. Best served chilled." (Elementalist Pinot Grigio – Super Tasty For $7 • Reverse Wine Snob)

I get the subtle pear and melon flavors and can see this pairing well with a light salad due to the mild flavor and semi-dryness.
