Brassfield Pinot Gris

Our home ranch on the west side of the High Valley AVA has been known as “High Serenity Ranch” for over one hundred years. The blocks planted to this idyllic site include Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Gewürztraminer. Each block is comprised of ancient lakebed and alluvial soils from the surrounding mountain range. The transverse valley winds create some of the coolest sites in Lake County. The lower temperatures on the valley floor allow for diurnal temperature swings of more than forty degrees, enhancing flavor development while retaining a crisp acidity. 

An elegant wrapping of bergamot perfumes the nose of our 2023 Pinot Gris. Juicy Bartlett pear aromas, along with delicious hints of honeyed green apple form the core of this vintage. A sparkling minerality pervades the entire palate enhancing the ripe pear and honey flavors, providing a persistent and mouthwatering finish.
