Critic Review: The final wine of this shopper savvy week is the 2011 Be. Bright Pinot Grigio. I am a big fan of the Be winery based in California, and their great bottle design. Simple, yet playful, just like their titles. The wine also emanates the same simple and slightly playful character. We round out our affordable wines with this $10 tasty surprise.
The winery playfully describes their wine as:
Snagging the spotlight is simply effortless with this Pinot Grigio that breezes in with its sun-ripened fruit flavors, shines with carefree cues of the tropics, and finishes with an exquisite ending that welcomes you to your place in the sun.When you uncork this one you'll smell definite floral notes and bits of citrus fruit, almost demanding me to have this once the weather gets hot out. The wine is a nice light golden color, which enhances the delicate nature of this pinot grigio. Tasting this wine reveals light peach and white peach flavors intertwined with a floral background. A slight sweetness is balanced out with the typical Pinot Grigio dry profile. Very balanced and a bit of a cold-stone finish. Very pleasant for a Pinot Grigio. I am a big fan of Be wines and I hope they can branch out into red wines, making them just as accessible and playful as they have with white wines. Will definitely be trying this Pinot again in the summer with some fruit and cheese.
My Review: The main thing I noticed about this wine was that it was more bitter than the Dynamite Sauvignon Blanc. Since I already thought the previous wine was bitter enough, I didn't really enjoy this one as much.
I did not try this wine with food.
