2018 Vin Gris

2018 Vin Gris, Sta. Rita Hills  

Pinot Noir Vin Gris 

La Rinconada Vineyard, Santa Rita Hills

Vinification - The Vin Gris was made in the traditional style using the saignée method. Aged in stainless steel for ten months and hand bottled unfined and unfiltered. A minimal addition of SO2 was made to preserve freshness and acidity. 

Notes - This wonderfully complex Vin Gris expresses a fresh, petrichor minerality with notes of apricot, green mango, and freshly cut white flower.  Layers of bright plum, starfruit, and Thai spices are framed by an enduring  tension, elevated acidity and mineral crunch.
