Gold Medal Winner - 91 Points
2025 Sommelier Challenge - San Diego, CA
Our complex and fruit-driven Pinot Gris shows inviting aromas of nectarine and Asian pear, along with zesty citrus. With integrated fine phenolics and bright, smooth acidity, this is a beautifully fresh and richly textured wine. Its vibrant character is enhanced by notes of honeysuckle and nectarine, all culminating in a long and lingering finish.

We are incredibly proud to announce that our 2024 Pinot Gris was awarded a Gold Medal and 91 Points in the prestigious San Diego Sommelier Challenge! This latest achievement beautifully continues the legacy set by its predecessor, the 2023 vintage, which earned a stellar 90 Points from Wine Enthusiast in December 2024.
This exceptional wine is born from the unique Pinot Gris grape, a genetic mutation of the renowned Pinot Noir. Pinot, meaning 'pine' in French, refers to its distinctive pinecone-shaped clusters, while Gris—'gray'—perfectly describes their eye-catching, pinkish-gray hue that glistens in the sun. This beautiful color is a reminder of the care and precision required at harvest; to preserve its crisp character, these delicate grapes are processed quickly to prevent the wine from taking on a pinkish tint. We are confident that this new, award-winning 2024 vintage is every bit as wonderful as its predecessor, and we can't wait for you to experience it.
