It is not often that we outdo ourselves, but our 2005 Pinot Grigio definitely has. This bright, outgoing wine has an intense perfume and a crisp, dry finish.

Fresh aromas of green apples and pears. A lighter-bodied wine that is dry with a bright crisp finish. This refreshing wine is best served chilled for an almost mineral water like experience.

This clean and crisp Pinot Grigio is best served chilled. It pairs well with light flavored foods such as fresh fruit, cheeses and gourmet deli meats. A wonderful wine for summertime gatherings with lots of finger foods.

The Clarksburg appellation is known for producing top quality Pinot Grigio, mainly due to its ideal climate. As the Sacramento Valley heats up during the day, it pulls in the cool maritime breeze from the bay, which allows warm summer days and cool evenings. We take special care in all aspects of our grape growing from deficit irrigation, to precise pruning techniques, to handpicking at harvest.

Grapes were handpicked in the cool morning and gently pressed, whole cluster, in our new Diemme membrane tank press. This fresh juice was cold settled in a temperature controlled stainless steel tank for 36-48 hours. Clean juice was racked from the solids and fermented cold in a stainless steel tank. After fermentation, the wine was racked off fermentation lees and allowed to age in a mix of neutral oak barrels and small stainless steel barrels. After a couple of months on light lees, the wine was racked from barrel and then bottled.
