bigLITTLE Wines C-3 Pinot NV Review
The about page of bigLITTLE Wines says, “Small Batch wines with small town vibes” and that’s exactly the vibe of their wines. Brothers Michael and Peter Laing grew up in Michigan helping their parents tend vineyards. Their lives took them away from home, but eventually they both returned to realize their inherent dream. Today, the brothers make wine in Michigan, sourcing from three vineyards in Leelanau County. For Gen Xers with an affinity for a galaxy far, far away, this wine will not only tug at your nostalgia but also deliver on taste. Made from a field blend of three grapes from the Pinot family, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Bianco (get it?) the nose on this wine is deep with honeyed apple aromas. The palate is rich with a good grip and a lingering, toasty finish.
