Conditions:  Season started off with a very late frost with a high amount of bud death in mid-April.  Vines regenerated and this block 10 in particular resulted in a heavy crop yield.  Fruit was flavorful, with medium to low acid and high brix coming in. Clean fruit, no botrytis or VA coming in.

Winemaker Notes: 

Post Fermentation Extended Lee’s contact provided this wine with a luscious mouthfeel and creamy texture.  Not a typical production rule for our Pinot Gris, but an experiment that proved to provide generous character that leads with a soft center palate and lasting finish.
