Banear Wines

Sort By:

Banear 2001 Pinot Grigio (Friuli Grave)

Price $13

Starts off with fresh but simple aromas of apple wedges, greens and limes, but shows altogether more interesting flavors—the apple and citrus are complemented by hints of oil or shale. Turns minerally on the finish. — J.C. (7/1/2003)

Banear 2009 Pinot Grigio (Friuli Grave)

Online Exclusive

Price $15

Here’s an attractive Pinot Grigio with a delicate floral personality that is enhanced by layers of passion fruit, pear and grapefruit. The wine is slightly sweet on the close and it ends with loads of peachy fruit. — M.L. (11/1/2010)

Banear 2004 Pinot Grigio (Friuli Grave)

Price $14

Very floral, with kiwi, exotic fruit, chamomile and dried rose petal aromas, this is a delicate and elegant wine. It’s also an easy-to-drink wine that is somewhat neutral in the mouth. Imported by Conexport. — M.L. (2/1/2006)

Banear 2007 Tentazioni d'Aba Sauvignon (Friuli Grave)

Best Buy

This is an extremely aromatic and floral Sauvignon that delivers an intense bouquet of sage, exotic fruit and tomato leaf. It earns high marks for personality and good cheer and offers zesty lemon flavors on the finish. — M.L. (7/1/2008)

Banear 2006 Mamàn White (Delle Venezie)

A luminous Italian white wine offersing subdued tones of stone fruit, white mineral and honey. There’s an aromatic component that is reminiscent of mint and the wine is clean and easy in the mouth with a vibrant, fresh finish. — M.L. (7/1/2008)

Banear 2006 Tentazioni d'Aba Pinot Grigio (Friuli Grave)

Best Buy

Price $10

Here’s a tight and compact Grigio with a pretty bouquet of passion fruit, white flowers and peach. It is lean and lightweight in the mouth but keeps the palate polished and clean. — M.L. (7/1/2008)

Banear 1997 Pinot Grigio (Grave del Friuli)

Price $10

Review unavailable at this time — W.E. (8/1/1999)

Banear 2005 Tentazioni d'Aba Chardonnay (Friuli Grave)

Online Exclusive

Price $10

There’s a distinctive note of peppermint that sets this Chardonnay apart and gives it a saccharine, soda-like quality that not everyone will like. But the wine does have pretty intensity and a full, creamy feel in the mouth. — M.L. (7/1/2008)
