Vintage Wine Cellar Tasting - Takutai Pinot Gris 2009

Name: Takutai
Variety: Pinot Gris
Region: Nelson
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: $21 normally.  $6.95 on sale. 

Vintage Cellar Review: Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It’s full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy.

Macy's Review: I tasted this wine earlier in the semester, and  at the time it was when I was first getting into wine.  I was unable to decipher any scents or specific tastes.  I can say this though: I did not like the wine.  I would not purchase this wine or willingly taste it ever again.
