Description
Expressively aromatic, the wine’s floral and tropical fruit aromas precede flavors of Mandarin orange and Honeydew melon. Mouthwatering and enticing, its bright acidity and broad texture entwine throughout the wine’s lingering finish. In 2012, a cool and wet June was followed by a warm and unusually dry summer, less than 0.1 inches of rain from July 1st to October 11th. Harvest of perfectly-ripe Pinot Gris grapes began in Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley on September 27th and a week and a half later in the comparatively cooler Willamette Valley. By blending several vineyard sources and regions and avoiding heavy-handed winemaking techniques we hope to achieve a balanced wine focused on the abundant varietal fruit character of this classic grape.
