Growing Conditions
The 2016 vintage had an early dry spring, followed by a long mild summer which gave the vineyards time to slowly mature the fruit to the peak of flavor. Our Pinot Gris is one of our most critically acclaimed wines, sourced from vineyards that are located in the renowned Russian River Valley. Pinot Gris excels in this cooler region of Sonoma County where the cool evenings and morning fog preserve the enticing fruit aromas and natural acidity that Pinot Gris is known for.
Winemaking
The grapes for this wine were harvested on September 13th, gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures, giving the wine it’s refreshing, fruity character.
