Our Thoughts: Pointwise 18 1 r2 – mesh generation software for cfd. 2018 was marked by a hot, dry summer that gave way to a mild September with periods of cool weather. Harvest commenced in line with historical average pick dates for the valley. About 40% of the grapes for this wine come from Silvershot Vineyards, which is kind of our 'estate,' if you will. The one acre of Pinot Gris is planted in the Pole Block, on the steepest and highest slope of the site. The combined effects of the southwestern slope and the fractured sandstone soil on the own-rooted and dry-farmed vines results in tiny clusters of deeply pigmented Pinot gris that are nearly indistinguishable from the neighboring Pinot noir. The block naturally produces about 1.5 tons per acre without any fruit thinning.

In 2018 we incorporated Pinot gris from BeckenRidge Vineyard, a nearly 40-year-old farm to the west of Dallas, Oregon, as you ascend into the Coast Range foothills. BeckenRidge has similar marine sediment soil series as Silvershot, with some younger volcanic overlay in spots. Being a slightly higher elevation site than Silvershot, the BeckenRidge fruit provided brightness and spice to the final blend.

We treat the Pinot gris as we would any red grape, with full skin-contact fermentation. A little more than half of the lot was destemmed into an open-top fermenter, and the other portion placed into a bin that was sealed for carbonic fermentation. Each half was given a shot of our wild yeast pied-de-cuve, cultured from the vineyard ahead of harvest. While the carbonic portion fermented away on its own, the destemmed portion was given a daily foot treading. After two weeks, we added back the still-whole bunches of carbonic fruit to the destemmed lot to lengthen fermentation time and draw out more flavor. After pressing, the wine finished out primary fermentation in barrel for the next two months, then through native secondary low-and-slow into late spring. We bottled by hand in July without any fining or filtration.

This wine is bangin' -- kind of Hawaiian Punch-y on the nose, leading to heaps of bright red fruits and orange peel on the palate, with notes of cinnamon and leather. Don't let the juicy fruit deceive though, the wine has a serious (but polished!) tannin structure that will stand up to anything off the grill, or a few years laying down.

Gris Blanc Rose 2018

Note: Everyone wants to chill this like a white wine and we beg you to resist the temptation (and stop drinking your whites so cold anyway). In our perfect world, you would drink this at just-below cellar temp, or like, stick it in the fridge for 30 minutes before drinking (but no more).

Sunny Days Are Here Again

Cooking for RSV's Vin Gris of Pinot Noir can lead to adventures into the world of exotic spices - like in the Roast Squash with Warm Spices, Labneh and Za'atar recipe. As with all rosés, the Vin Gris hangs in the netherworld between white and red. Its non-partisan disposition equates to versatility at the table.
Vin Gris' bright, crisp, aromatic and sunny nature make it a great mate for shellfish, fish and vegetables - but don't be fooled into thinking the Vin Gris is a simple wine, best reserved for light foods, sunshine and sipping. Selected from RSV's prime Pinot Noir vineyards in the Carneros, picked at optimal ripeness then gently whole-cluster pressed, this wine has beautiful aromatics and a structure that serves it well when poured with roasted meats and poultry… and this Vin Gris is not a 12-month wonder! It has enough stuffing to last and last and will reward those who have the strength to resist its allure of primary fruit as it evolves into savory complexity with a year or two of bottle age.
Drink a bottle or three now and save some for later. Roast the squash in the fall and winter in a hot oven to warm the house and then, when sunny days arrive, pull out the grill with skewers and kabobs and enjoy sunshine above as well as its sparkle in your glass.
Until the Next Wine.
