My wine research assistant, SC Wine Jane, and I look for different things in a white wine. She would rather drink a Riesling and I most often choose Chardonnay. On occasion, we can agree on a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio or Gris but that did not happen with the Acrobat Pinot Gris. I really liked this wine but Wine Jane was not enthused.
Acrobat Wines are produced by King Estates Winery to reach customers who are looking for value at a reduced price. They price these wines a few dollars less than their King Estates wines and they do this by using grapes from a wider area than just the Willamette Valley and producing larger volumes of the wines. Although the wines come with a lower price, they have still received high ratings from Wine Enthusiast and others.
The wine begins with bright, fresh flavors of melon and pineapple. As the wine lingers in the mouth it becomes more acidic as it finishes. This acidity makes it an excellent wine to pair with cheese or crab cakes. The wine has 13.5% alcohol and I bought it at Costco for $10.99.
I do not assign numerical scores for white wines but I like this very much.
