We've always adored Alsace's white wines, especially the four noble varieties: Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Muscat Blanc. Our first Gewürztraminer grapes came from Edmeades Vineyard in 1976 and by 1978, we were harvesting our own. In the 1980s, we produced Riesling wines and a few years later Pinot Gris wines from Valley Foothills Vineyard's grapes. These wines were a hit, so in the 1990s, we planted our own at Navarro along with Muscat Blanc.

Two decades later we decided to plant Pinot Blanc vines at Navarro after our first bottling of this varietal—made in 2012 from grapes grown south of Ukiah—turned out great. By 2023, our estate-grown Pinot Blanc was thriving with no need for outside grapes. This vintage, from two clones (60% ENTAV-54 and 40% FPS-5), was harvested at night, pressed, fermented and aged sur lie for four months in French oak ovals. A tart embrace of green apple, lime and pineapple with a minerally, refreshing finish. Gold medal winner. 96 points.
