Not sure where Miss Staff gets off calling this wine Grigio because it lacks the particular characteristics I expect from the Italian wine style she took the name from but it does have some very interesting nuances that make this wine interesting and unique. The nose has a certain minerality, a nice mac apple quality and an interesting spice that really draws you in. The palate proves to be just as illusive to pinpoint and yet interesting in its own right. The minerality and apple are there, hints of citrus, apple and peach pit; good crisp acidity and there’s also and interesting spice, could be of the baking variety. This is not your typical Grigio, but then it ain’t you typical Gris either, I do believe Miss Staff has something special here. This might be the best wine Sue has made under her eponymous label.
