Robert Sinskey Vineyards Description
TASTING NOTES: Unadorned, organically farmed Pinot Gris needs little but attentiveness to become a delicious wine. The lucky person opening the bottle is greeted by a burst of fresh, bright, citrus blossom chased by softer aromas of chamomile and almond flower. Meyer lemon, Buddha’s hand, kumquat, ginger and tangerine zest highlight juicy citrus notes that, with a few swirls in the glass, open into rounder waves of crisp tropical fruit and Asian pear. A textured, mineral driven backbone drives the wine’s long finish with a youthfulness that hints at future longevity for those with the patience to cellar this rare breed of California white wine with an Old World soul.
WINEGROWING NOTES: Pinot Gris is the best under-the-radar variety for the table, especially when grown in the relatively cool Carneros region on RSV’s organically farmed vineyards. The cool, foggy mornings, warm middays, breezy afternoons and chilly nights allow the Pinot Gris to achieve optimal aroma and flavor while maintaining a bright, mouth-watering finish. Farmed with regenerative, carbon sequestering methods, the pristine fruit is hand harvested at night, whole cluster pressed in the early morning, and cool fermented in stainless steel. The trick is to grow it well and not mess it up for a pure, living and delicious wine.
