2005 Pinot Grigio

Adhering to varietal correctness is a byword for many winemakers. We strive for it as well, but we’re not above making improvements. The Italian Pinot Grigio craze has spawned a ...moreCalifornia following, said Wine Discoveries, and the front of the Pinot Grigio parade starts right here. Our PG is perhaps richer, perhaps fruitier than some styles, but you’ll recognize the high acidity and balanced crispness that make this wine a wonderful summer sipper. But don’t wait for hot weather: drink what you like, when you like to drink it. A slow, cool fermentation in stainless makes it all possible.

2005 Pinot Grigio
Paso Robles

The fruit for this wine comes from a single west side Paso Robles vineyard. When we first tasted the fruit at crush, we decided to try a different presentation than is normal for t ...morehis varietal. Instead of cold settling and aging in stainless steel, we decided to ferment and age in oak. Two yeasts were used in combination and were chosen to highlight the stone fruit and tropical aromas and a full mouth feel. After crush and press, the wine was barrel fermented and underwent partial malolactic fermentation. It was aged over nine months in oak before bottling.

A long cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks was used to emphasize the bright, crisp mineral qualities of the wine. The result, tropical aromas of mangoes, pineapple, passion ...morefruit, guava, banana, and a touch of vanilla and coconut burst from the glass. This wine has a soft entry with a light mineral component and is followed by crisp acidity and a soft refreshing finish. Delicious with fresh seafood, or seared scallops over a bed of pasta.

2005 Pinot Grigio
Santa Barbara County

Pinot Grigio is an Italian variety, primarily produced in the Friuli and Alto Adige regions north of Venice and in other parts of northeast Italy. Like other popular Italian white ...morewines, it is light in color and flavor. Although we think of Pinot Grigio as a white wine, the skins of this grape are actually copper, or salmon, colored, and despite the fact that the juice is pressed off the skins immediately, a small amount of “pinkish” color manages to end up in the wine. If the wine is not fined a very slight shade of color can appear in the finished wine, although this is rarely visible in the bottle or glass. In the 2005 vintage, despite our best efforts at fining and filtering, some of that slight red color still remains, reminding us that Pinot Grigio is not really a white grape after all. This barrel aged version of our Pinot Grigio is the style we have come to prefer over the crispier stainless steel only version. However, it is intriguing to experience the effect the oak has on this variety. While barrel aging creates more creaminess and smoothness, including a really great rich finish, the exceptional fruit of these grapes still shines through. Pinot Grigio is meant to drink
