La Crema Monterey Pinot Gris 750

WINEMAKER COMMENTS: NOSE: Pear, lemon curd, pineapple, and white oral notes. PALATE: Meyer lemon and nectarine are followed by a fresh yet rich and multilayered acidity. 95% stainless steel and 5% neutral oak.

VINIFICATION: The fruit is sourced from four distinctive vineyards in the Monterey appellation nearby the towns of King City, Soledad, and Greenfield. Soils are predominantly free draining loams.

WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR VINTAGE: With cooler weather throughout the spring and early summer months, extended hangtime and ripening proceeded to be very slow throughout the growing season. A high-quality harvest was quickly apparent with concentrated flavors, balanced acidity and refined phenolic development being the norm. The Pinot Gris harvest began on September 22nd.
