Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Folie à Deux 2019 Sonoma Coast Pinot Gris displays refreshing aromas of
green apple, meyer lemon, white nectarine and peach notes. Ample lemon peel,
peach and honeysuckle flavors are complemented by honeydew melon and light
tropical notes on the palate. Showcasing a light to medium body, this wine has
bright, crisp acidity, light minerality and finishes with a hint of sweetness. This
food friendly Pinot Gris pairs well with cacio e pepe, lemon pepper chicken or
cajun-spiced bass.
Vineyard Notes
It is no surprise fruit for the Folie à Deux 2019 Pinot Gris finds such beautiful
expression in the cool region of Russian River Valley. The cooling fog from the
Pacific Ocean is this AVA’s key climactic feature—which reduces temperatures by
35–40 degrees at night—fostering a long, even growing season. The region’s wide
range of alluvial soils, composed primarily of gravel, loam and sand, provides
essential water drainage while retaining sufficient moisture and nutrients to
nurture the vines during the appellation’s long growing season. The Folie à Deux
2019 Pinot Gris ripens slowly in this climate, developing concentrated varietal
flavors while retaining vivacious acidity.
Winemaker Notes
The fruit for this Pinot Gris is selected from the greatest vineyards in Russian River
Valley. Once harvested, the juice is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks
at about 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit. The yeast used during fermentation are perfect
fermenters for expressive, aromatic whites.
