In a return to tradition, some enterprising Pinot Grigio producers allow more skin contact during winemaking, which results in a slightly copper-colored wine (as the name implies, Pinot Grigio’s natural skin color is copper-gray). This is one of those wines and besides the unique color, you’ll appreciate its aromas of peach, citrus, almond and natural rubber.——M.L.(12/1/2007)—— 86

Sweet yellow melon, honeysuckle, pear and peach are delivered first, followed by lemon zest and lingering honey-like flavors. This is an attractive ensemble with clean acidity; pair with pasta salads or light fish dishes. ——M.L.(4/1/2007)—— 87
