2020 Landmark Pinot Gris

Representing our 7th vintage for this program, the 2020 Pinot Gris was again sourced entirely from our Hop Kiln Estate Vineyard on Westside Road.

Having complete control in the farming practices at this vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley gives us a consistent source of quality grapes. Our patience waiting for the desired ripeness and maturity provides you with a wine with great aromatics and texture.

Tasting notes

Pale straw color, with complex fruit of lemon, pear, melon, lemon blossom and subtle honey notes. The palate is moderate bodied and dry, with lemon, white peach, and ripe pear on the entry and savory beeswax and a little mint adding complexity to the sustained fruit and floral elements on the mid-palate. The finish is moderately long and nicely textured with lingering fruit of pear, melon, and subtle floral notes.

Food pairings

The 2020 Pinot Gris is dry with a complex layering of fruit, floral, savory and textural elements that make this a very interesting and refreshing wine to sip on its own, but it pairs nicely with Capellini Frutti di Mare in a white wine sauce, or with Fontina Val d’Aosta, Muenster, Gruyere or other Alpine cheeses.
