Brancott advertises this low-alcohol wine as 20% lower in calories. While the marketing feels gimmicky, their Pinot Grigio succeeds far better than the previous vintage's Sauvignon Blanc. It should really be termed Pinot Gris, for this pink-tinged bottling offers heady aromatics closer to Alsace than Italy in style. A perfume of lychees, lime leaf, Asian pear, peach and honeysuckle make up the nose, while the palate finds a balance between creamy texture and lifted acidity. This crowd-pleasing white would be happy beside spicy cuisine. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
