Palate

Cornsilk in color, this vibrant Pinot Grigio has a nose of stone fruit and gravel. This white wine opens with a delicate white peach. Its acidity builds on the mid-palate to reveal bright tropical fruits, followed by juicy ripe cantaloupe on the finish.

Growing Conditions

Our Pinot Grigio vineyards are located in the rolling hills and warm climate of California’s Central Coast. As a winemaker, Janell discovered that she prefers Pinot Grigio grown in warmer climates. She feels they make for an approachable and balanced wine with the perfect amount of acidity and bright fruit.

Winemaking

Janell Dusi is the proprietor and winemaker, specializing in Zinfandel. She is a fourth generation farmer who was the first of the family to go beyond farming to produce signature wines from their vineyards. Janell honors her heritage by winemaking in the most native form. Her signature style is non-invasive wine handling. She chooses to age this Pinot Grigio in stainless steel to showcase the bright fruit and natural acidity of this varietal. Her winemaking style respects and reveals the natural varietal characteristics of Pinot Grigio.
