About the Wine
Representing our ninth vintage for this program, the 2022 Pinot Gris was again sourced entirely from our Hop Kiln Estate Vineyard on Westside Road. Having complete control of the farming practices at this vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley gives us a consistent source of quality grapes. Our patience in waiting for the desired ripeness and maturity provides you with a wine with great aromatics and texture.
