Santa Barbara County Pinot Gris - Pinot Blanc Blend
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
Hung out with Jim Clendenen a few times, very good guy. This wine though, in my opinion, was very very light-too light on seafood ceviche & seared tuna

Nov 4th, 201760% Pinot Gris (from their own Bien Nacido vineyard + fruit from El Camino and Sierra Madre vineyards) and 40% Pinot Blanc (all Bien Nacido). 2015 vintage. Pinot Gris is the first grape variety harvested every year, picked with low sugar and high acidity. This explains the crisp style of this wine. Fresh and mineral with modest complexity, but well-balanced.Abv. 13%.

Full malo?! Yup, it works. Not that crispy acid bomb you might expect- voluptuous in its insolence.

Pale gold color. Interesting blend of Pinot Gris & Pinot Blanc. On the nose & palate, starts very flinty/crisp, then Meyer Lemon, and then a bit of apricot. Nice.
