1999 Pinot Gris Monterey County

Production: 1000 cases
Alcohol: 13.9%

Nose: Clean stone fruit and ripe nectarines, honeysuckle and lavender.

Palate: Intense fruit with clean and crisp acid on the entry. Balanced with round ripe fruit flavors of nectarines, grapefruit and Meyer lemon with a medium to long finish.

The vineyard source in Monterey County provides an ideal climate for this varietal. Cool mornings and evenings allow for a long growing season during which full maturation of the fruit is possible while maintaining the delicate balance of fruit and floral nuances.

Made in a traditional Alsatian style. Slow and cool fermentation, aged approximately 6 months in stainless steel tanks.
