  • 2016 PINOT GRIS Russian River Valley Estate Grown ● Estate Bottled
    2016 PINOT GRIS Russian River Valley Estate Grown ● Estate Bottled Texture and persistence define this Pinot Gris. It’s focused with bright fruit and crisp acidity yet still maintains a powerful weight and presence throughout. Aromatically, the wine opens with stone fruit and citrus surrounded with savory elements. The mouthfeel is a contrast of zingy lime, perfect viscosity and subtle tannins that add texture and extend the wine for an incredible and lengthy finish, both in terms of texture and flavor. The grapes are grown on a magnificent eight acre vineyard located about 10 miles from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. This Sebastopol Hills vineyard, planted exclusively to Pinot Gris, slopes toward the south and allows for excellent exposure and produces distinct and precise Pinot Gris. Balletto Vineyards makes all of its wine from sustainably farmed estate vineyards located throughout the cool southern third of the Russian River Valley. It is one of the few Russian River wineries to be 100 percent estate grown and estate bottled, and specializes in vineyard designated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which are consistently elegant, balanced and delicious. Pinot Gris Winemaking Philosophy: Pinot Gris is the close cousin to the famed Pinot Noir, with only small mutations to Technical Information make bronze-colored grapes as opposed to black (noir). With this in mind, it’s obvious why site selection is key to Alcohol: 13.7% producing distinct Pinot Gris. Balletto Vineyards has planted pH: 3.14 their Gris in one of the most prime Pinot Noir locations in TA: 7.9 g/L Sonoma County, the hills southwest of Sebastopol.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

  • Greywacke Pinot Gris 2018
    GREYWACKE PINOT GRIS 2018 ‘A delicious gris of optimal ripeness, compelling precision and superlative textural detail…Weighty, intensely flavoured and immensely versatile. In the vein of the best of Alsace or better, Baden. Gris as it should be executed. A dollop of sweetness finds an effortless confluence with the grip and verve.’ 96 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, @NEDGOODWINMW ‘Rich, ripe, very complex bouquet with crystalline lemons, windfall apple and stylish barrel/lees influences adding baked pastry characters and smoky notes. Full-bodied and tasty - providing a big, mellow, mouthful of flavour with a nice touch of sweetness. An opulent wine.’ 95 Points, Bennet & Hudson, WINERATER.CO.NZ ‘Complex, varietal, pure fruit core, floral, layers of mineral and fine lees complete the bouquet…Warm and generous with a satin texture, medium+ acidity and lengthy finish. Delicious!’ 94 Points, Cameron Douglas MS, THE SHOUT (NZ) ‘Late-harvested grapes fermented in a mix of wild and cultured yeasts with five months maturation in old barrels. Rich, ripe, creamy-textural wine with honey, caramel, poached pear and a suggestion of honeysuckle. Unctuous but not cloying.’ 93 Points, Bob Campbell MW, THEREALREVIEW.COM ‘Reserved yet clearly varietal aroma of very ripe gris: lychee and tropical flowers. The palate is rich and just off-dry, the sweetness harmonising well with the rich flavour and evident alcohol…A very smart full- flavoured, late-picked style of gris.’ 93 Points, Huon Hooke, THEREALREVIEW.COM ‘Aromas of poached pear, baked apple and dried apricot, as well as some smoky elements. The palate has a soft, smooth-honed and sturdy feel.’ 90 Points, Nick Stock, JAMESSUCKLING.COM ‘An opulent pinot gris with its full-bodied, voluptuous texture…flavours of jasmine, honey, figs, roses and pears.

  • 2014 Seven (White Blend)
    2014 SEVEN (WHITE BLEND) Tasting Notes: A refreshing and complex wine that appeals to all. Aromas of lemongrass, melon and pear lead into a velvety mid palate that is lightly sweetened. This is offset by juicy acidity which leads into a lingering finish with notes of pineapple. Winemaking Notes: This wine is made from a blend of seven white grapes. In order to help preserve the individual characteristics of those grapes each piece of the wine is fermented separately to be made into a single varietal then a portion of each of those wines is used to make this wine. Blending trials generally last for six to eight weeks while we create the best wine possible balancing not only the characteristics of each varietal, not letting any one grape dominate, but also balancing the acidity and sweetness so the wine remains refreshing while appealing to a variety of palates. This year was fun to blend as for the first time all seven grapes came from our estate vineyard. BeckenRidge vineyard is also represented in the Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot gris. The seven grapes in order of most to least are: Müller Thurgau, Pinot gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot blanc, Muscat Ottonel. Harvest Notes: The 2014 growing season is the warmest on record for the Willamette Valley. Our cooler estate vineyard on the edge of the Oregon Coast Range welcomed the few extra degrees of heat like a light summer blanket rather than a blistering heat wave at the end of the season. The extra warmth led to early sugar accumulation and then, fortunately, we received a small amount of rain prior to harvest.

  • 92 Wine Tech Pinot Gris Speech.Indd
    January 1992–Wine Tech THE EMERGENCE OF PINOT GRIS Speech by David Lett Good morning and what a gawd-awful early hour it is. I generally don’t deal with anything heavier than a cup of tea at 8:45 in the morning. But...this was the hour assigned me for dealing with the subject of “ e Emergence of Pinot gris”. Originally I was to have shared this time with two other Oregon producers of Pinot gris in order to fi ll the hour, so you will be relieved to know that my comments will not go for the full hour this morning. Actually, Pinot gris is still in its “emergence” stage both in terms of the number of acres planted and marketability, but I will attempt to fi ll in as many details of as many aspects of Pinot gris that I know of from having grown it for 27 years. For starters let me give you a bit of history of the Pinot gris vine in Europe and the U.S. e origins of Pinot gris are apparently to be found in the Burgundy region of France where it is known as Pinot Beurot. It used to be widely interplanted among Pinot noir and was used in the Pinot noir to soften its sometimes rough edges. ere are at least two producers of Pinot gris (or Beurot) that I know of in Burgundy today. One is Phillipe Senard who I believe labels it simply as Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc. Pinot gris was also grown in the Champagne region.
