This is fast becoming one of our favorite staple Pinot Grigios at Costco, so when we saw the latest 2023 we had to grab it to see if it held up. And it did.
We reviewed the 2021 vintage back in 2022 and found it to be a delightful wine that we rated a solid 88 points.
Here we are a few years later with the 2023 vintage, and happy of course to see the price staying the same as it has been at $14.99. Still not inexpensive for many Pinot Grigios, but this one really hits the mark and is well worth the price tag.
Banfi is as dependable a name as it comes in the wine world. We've enjoyed quite a few bottles from them over the years including a Chianti Classico, the Centine red blend, and Gavi.
Back to this 2023 Pinot Grigio, we have a very similar wine as we tasted before. It is a pale straw in the glass with fresh citrus fruit aromas; crisp and refreshing just begging for a sunny day near water.
Flavors of green apple, pear, lemon, and peach in a light to medium bodied wine with good acidity that might pique the interest of NZ Sauv Blanc fans even. Pleasant throughout, clean finish.
Once again a winner and a super easy drinking wine. We're keeping our score the same at 88 points with a thumbs up.
