2009 Pinot Gris

The growing season was favorable while an early freeze mid-October delayed harvest, resulting in grapes having higher acid levels and lowewr sugars.

A cool, fifteen-day fermentation led to aromas of lemon grass, grapefruit and roses. On the palate there’s a hint of pears, lemons and green apples along with nice acidity and balance leaving a crisp, tart finish.
