With cool daytime breezes & coastal weather to keep grapes warm at night, Monterey is one of the best-known regions for growing the Pinot grape. The climate slowly diffuses the sugars from the skins into the grapes, & allows for gradual ripening, thereby creating wonderful Pinot Grigio flavors. The 2009 vintage reveals vibrant aromas & flavors of green apple & lime complimented by a hint of mineral & a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. This is a beautiful wine to enjoy with spicy foods or light entrees.
