Winemaker Notes
Made using grapes from a prized single vineyard in the Central Coast’s Cienega Valley AVA, this Vin Gris of Pinot Noir displays tantalizing layers of grapefruit, guava, wild strawberry and rose petals. On the palate, bright acidity adds poise and purity to the vibrant citrus, berry and tropical flavors as they glide to a long, juicy finish.
Production
The 2021 growing season began with below-average winter rainfall followed by moderate spring temperatures, with budbreak occurring at varied times throughout the Central Coast. The temperate weather continued into early summer, which ensured abundant hangtime and one of the latest Central Coast harvests on record. The resulting wines show pin-point balance with lovely aromas, excellent energy and acidity, and pure sophisticated flavors.
