Domestic Pinot Grigio has a generally poor track record, and usually doesn’t evoke comparisons to top pinot grigio from Italy. But this budget-priced Estancia Pinot Grigio turns the tables the conventional wisdom, showing mouth-watering acidity coupled with bright citrus notes and good persistence in the finish. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
