Aroma &#8211; Pineapple, a touch of mineral, or perhaps worse. 3 out of 6 points. Taste &#8211; It is not too pleasant. It seems to be very acidic. We gave it 2.5 of 6 points. Finish &#8211; There is a taste of hops, almost like a beer right after the initial taste, and it carries through until the end. 0.5 of 3 points. Overall &#8211; We gave it 1 of 2 points. This may have been generous. So that adds up to 8 out of a possible 20 points.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not listed some of the harsher comments. None in the group buys Pinot Grigio on a regular basis, so perhaps that should be taken into account when reading these comments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridgewine.com\/taf\/tn_sky_search.taf?_function=detail&#038;archives_uid1=1460\">1999 Ridge California Monte Bello <\/a> $38<\/p>\n<p>notes: 100 % Chardonnay, 100% Stainless steel. This is quite simply one of the best Chardonnays that I&#8217;ve ever tasted. Beautiful color. Aroma-mineral, papaya, very nice. Taste-flint, minerals, buttery. Finish balanced. Overall- a perfect Chardonnay. It gets a perfect 20 from the group.<\/p>\n<p>2001 Croften Zinfandel $35<br \/>\nnotes:\t600 cases. Lighter in style than the D&#8217;cubed, but never the less, a perfect Zinfandel. It is ready to drink right now.
