Pleasant Valley Vineyards, Inc.

This wine is handcrafted from nurtured estate vines of French Dijon clones, fermented on the lees and then aged in small French oak barrels. The vines experience a coastal influence of moderately warm days and cool moist nights that product intense varietal fruit with crisp acidic characteristics.

The 2006 growing season was one of our longest on record. The ability to allow the grapes to hang on the vines until the end of October occurs usually less than once a decade. This extended season provided us fruit with exceptionally great and robust flavors
