Vinification 2006 was an abundant vintage with a long warm ideal growing season.
Acid levels were slightly higher than previous years so look for these wines to pair very well with a variety of cuisine.

Winemaking An intriguing blend of 34% Pinot Gris, 33% Pinot Blanc and 33% Pinot Noir.
The Pinot Noir was whole cluster pressed so as not to impart any color on the wine.
This wine was 100% stainless steel ferrmented.
|
Aroma / Bouquet / Nose The 2006 Pinot 3 shows vibrant aromas of apple, melon and citrus notes.
The palate has a clean acidity with fresh orchard fruit is highlighted by golden apple.
|
Food and Wine Pairing Think shellfish! Fresh mussels in a white wine & thyme butter sauce would be sensational. BBQ grilled rosemary prawns would be sublime as well.
