A nice light white wine with optimal flavor and acidity. Bright aromas of apple, pear and lem- ongrass followed by those of lively orange and tangerine. A balanced mouth-feel full of citrus with a touch of floral from the Viognier. Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio is fermented in 100% stainless steel to emphasize the fruit.
Technical Notes The 2010 growing season began with a cool, dry spring followed by a mild summer. In late September a warm indian summer brought the Pinot Grigio vineyards to ripeness and each vineyard was carefully picked as it reached its optimum maturity. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine was aged in French, Eastern European and American oak barrels for 22 months. Before bottling, small amounts of other Bordeaux varieties were added to the final blend to give the wine balance and complexity. This produced a rich and multifaceted wine that is enjoyable now as well as for several years to come.
