Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An elegant wrapping of bergamot perfumes the nose of our 2023 Pinot Gris. Juicy Bartlett pear aromas, along with delicious hints of honeyed green apple form the core of this vintage. A sparkling minerality pervades the entire palate enhancing the ripe pear and honey flavors, providing a persistent and mouthwatering finish.
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 Gewurztraminer. 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 six months, lightly fined and filtered before bottling for maximum freshness and brilliant clarity.
