This producer is from California and the wine is made in Lodi. I have not had a Pinot Grigio from California in a long time. The 2007 Lange Twins Pinot Grigio was bought on the Internet for $5. This has to be the lowest price wine I have ever posted here and I probably have not consumed a $5 wine in a long time. Still, this wine was not $5 retail. I believe this was part of a larger auction lot and I just got lucky....or maybe not!
Wine Review and Score
The 2007 Lange Twins wine was a strange one. When it was first opened it had a very noticable spritzy nose to it. Almost sparkling wine-ish. It also had some green apple on the nose. The taste had some earthyness to it which I liked. Good acidity and apples, peaches with more sparkling spritzy flavors. The finish was not much, but what Pinot Grigio has? Not fair to score based on that. But the wine did turn a little watery as it was opened. I did not like that all. It lost some of that zest pretty quick.
I saved some of the bottle to grab another sip several hours later and while it did not get worse, that lively sparkle never returned. It was a fairly typical low priced Pinot Grigio. Easily drinkable and I have had worse - many worse from Italy actually. I could drink this again or not. This Lange Twins Wine was a decent effort and for what I paid - I'd buy it again.
85 Points
