Francis Coppola Bianco, 2010

My fourth and final wine from Saturday's tasting is Francis Coppola 2010 Bianco ($10) from California. This is 90% Pinot Grigio blended with 5% each Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.  The aroma was citrus.  The flavor a light citrus with a tart grapefruit finish.  Clean.  Crisp.  Nicely balanced.  Very po:pular with customers.  I enjoyed as well.  Perfect for summer.  Great for pairing with seafood.

Winemaker's Notes:  "Our 2010 Bianco Pinot Grigio is a crisp, refreshing white wine that’s appropriate for just about any occasion. Invite friends over and serve Bianco with appetizers, pair it with light lunch fare, enjoy it at dinnertime with seafood or simply pour yourself a glass to sip on a warm afternoon.
