Wilhelm Walch Prendo Pinot Grigio 2006

This has been my "house" Pinot Grigio ever since I ended up with a case of it. I'm not a super-huge fan of the varietal or anything, but it's nice to have around and it tends to pair easily with many of the foods I regularly make.

While this is a Vintage 2006 (and thus getting a little long in the tooth for a moderately priced white wine), it's held up pretty well thanks to careful storage.

In their words: ...

In my words: Well, if they're not going to say something, I will. The nose was flush with lemon, grapefruit, and fresh grass. Underneath lurked a bit of slate, graphite, and, oddly enough, marshmallow. The palate followed the nose, with the graphite becoming even more prominent. The body was a little heavier than I remembered, somewhere in the light/medium range. Prendo is tart and smooth, with a medium finish.
