Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Pinot Gris often tend towards aromatics over elegance, our 2022 vintage straddles the line
between both. It has rich apple and Bartlett pear aromas. Layers of white fruit and flinty
minerality style the palette. Lime and tonic on the finish makes for a complex wine that is
also easy to drink
Vineyard Notes
Our home ranch on the west side of the High Valley AVA has been known as “High Serenity
Ranch” for over one hundred years. The blocks planted to this idyllic site include Pinot Gris,
Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Gewürztraminer. Each block is comprised of ancient lakebed
and alluvial soils from the surrounding mountain range. The transverse valley winds create some
of the coolest sites in Lake County. The lower temperatures on the valley floor allow for diurnal
temperature swings of more than forty degrees, enhancing flavor development while retaining
a crisp acidity

Winemaker Notes
We harvest our grapes early in the morning to ensure peak acidity and freshness upon arrival
to the winery. After gentle pressing, we allow the juice to cold settle overnight. The next day we
rack the juice off heavy lees and ferment in small stainless-steel tanks. Sur lie aging with
battonage (lees stirring) once a week in tank creates additional body, texture and viscosity in
the wine. This wine was aged nine months, lightly fined and filtered before bottling for maximum
freshness and brilliant clarity.
