2006 Pinot Gris - La Encantada Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills

Firm, dry and fresh, this bright Pinot Gris is produced from less than 2 acres of organically grown fruit at La Encantada Vineyard in the western part of the Sta. Rita Hills viticultural area. The wine reveals a clean apple-lime essence crossed with a bit of honeydew melon and hints of subtle white peach, all enhanced by an undercurrent of pleasant minerality..

2006 Pinot Gris - Santa Barbara County

Continuing in the crisp, clean style of Alsatian Pinot Gris, our 2006 Pinot Gris, Santa Barbara County shows a purity of fruit with exotic floral aspects, summery stone fruits and a refreshing acid-mineral finish.

Happy with Mediteranean dishes, it would be equally at home with spicy Pan-Asian concoctions.

Case production: 1656
Price: $16 per bottle, $172.80 per case

...this is a diva wine that dishes should be designed for, not the other way around.
