Luna Vineyards 2005 Pinot Grigio

Luna Vineyards 2005 Pinot GrigioLight straw in color, the 2005 Pinot Grigio from Luna Vineyards of Napa Valley is a mouthful. Although the nose is quite light, a sip brings forth some great lemon flavors highlighted by a good amount of acid (think ‘crisp’). It is the finish - that last essence of taste – that becomes exciting. All of the fruit comes forward; it is almost sweet.

Think summer fish; we enjoyed this white with salmon stuffed with crab, sided with green beans mixed with fresh mint leaves (a simple Friday evening dinner). The singleGuyChef could also pair this with one of his tasty creamy sauces. Yeah, a nice pasts dish would suit this wine well.

Luna is a small winery known for picking their grapes at night, hence the name. But do we really care? We are just thankful that they fermented these grapes in French Oak barrels for seven months which lends it a complexity from start to finish.
