It is hard not to look askance at a Pinot Grigio from the 2021 vintage in the Northern Hemisphere with the issue of current freshness in mind, but this is holding up very well. The fruit shows fine purity and balance, and though the overall impression is — as suggested by the wine’s brand — “simple,” it is also very tasty in its simplicity.
