Tasting - Santa Julia Pinot Grigio

Name: Santa Julia
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95
Winery Review: Light and clean, which compared to other Argentine Pinot Grigios is not something to dismiss. Feels solid and punchy, with orange and mango flavors. Has nice overall clarity and balance, with a citrusy finish
Personal Review: On the nose, this wine smelled of peaches, melon, lemons, oranges, and other citrus fruits. The wine was sour at first but had a fruity mid-palate, where punches of flavors of orange peel, citrus fruits, melon, and lemon came through. It's dry finish left me feeling thirsty. This wine was interesting to me and quite good, but I would not want to keep drinking it. I did not have this wine with any food.
