Vin Gris Sonoma County, 2005

Price range: $ 8.00 through $ 14.00

During the busy harvest season, we often think about how nice it is to relax and enjoy a bottle of Vin Gris. It was made by ‘bleeding off’ a small amount of juice from our red grapes before fermentation. We like to think of it as the blood of our grapes, the sweat of our brow, and tears of joy.

Winemaker's Notes

This is our classic blend of Pinot Noir and Zinfandel taken from fermentation tanks prior to fermentation, then barrel fermented in neutral barrels. This year’s wine found its sweet spot at a slightly higher level of Pinot Noir. It is crisp, bone-dry and refreshing, with rose-petal and strawberry notes. We will have this bottled just in time for the open house.
