Etude Carneros Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris from Alsace is one of winemaker, Jon Priest’s favorite varietals, so delicate, intentional winemaking crafts this lovely expression from Napa Valley. On the nose, lovely white floral aromatics sit alongside stone fruit character. On the palate, a flinty minerality is present, supported by more tropical notes of Asian pear, candied apple peel, white nectarine, and citrus blossom. The texture is creamy, supple and round, due to the lees character, balanced alongside refreshing, crisp acidity. The finish is long and dry demonstrating the true elegance and inherent balance found within our renowned estate vineyards.
