Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2019 Pinot Grigio entices with aromas of ripe stone fruit, green apple, pear and
honeydew, all accentuated by floral and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine enters
with generous juicy stone fruit and honeydew melon, followed by a midpalate of fresh
cantaloupe and a core of minerality that lead to a long, elegant finish.
Vineyard Notes
This wine hails from Clarksburg, an appellation located 30 miles east of Amador
County. This AVA enjoys cooler temperatures than surrounding regions thanks to the
breezes that flow up the Sacramento River Delta from San Francisco Bay. This allows
grapes to ripen slowly and develop depth in flavor and aroma—perfect conditions
for growing aromatic white grape varieties such as Pinot Grigio. We used four clones
from two of our Clarksburg vineyards for added complexity.
Winemaker Notes
The grapes were harvested at night to preserve their bright flavor and acidity. At the
winery, the fruit was gently pressed and the juice fermented and aged in stainless steel
tanks at a low temperature to bring out the variety’s clean fruit character. The wine
spent three months on the lees for further complexity.
