Tasting Notes - D'Angelo Pinot Grigio 2004

Cardinia Ranges is a low profile area that can perhaps also be described as the south eastern edge of the Yarra Valley or the western border of Gippsland. Big nose, rich, with some musk and broad fruit. Quite European in style and more in the Gris camp. Palate is quite lifted and fresh, with a hint of spritz, but the flavours promised on the bouquet translate poorly. Some musk and a little heat but the fruit seems almost tired. A shame, because the nose really promised something special.
