About This Product
Tasting Notes:
This Pinot Gris used native yeasts and was 100% barrel fermented using only neutral oak. While the neutral oak will not add any oak flavors, it will allow the wine to breath during fermentation, which adds to mouth feel and richness of the wine. The wine was further aged in neutral French oak for six months and allowed to partially go through Malolactic fermentation. This wine was released April 30, 2011.

Winemaker Notes:
The 2010 growing season was cooler than the average year with plenty of rainfall in the spring and early summer. After a relatively early bud-break (mid April) the canopy grew very slowly over the next couple of months with temperatures ranging from the mid 50’s to the low 60’s. Although we consider this a challenging year the vintage was ‘saved’ by another fantastic October, similar to what we experienced in 2008. The result is very focused, high acid wines with mature flavors and plenty of complexity due to the low yields and the grapes extended ‘hang-time’.
