Additional Information

Believe it or not, terroir plays an important (if unsung) role in creating everyday wines like Sycamore Lane. A skilled winemaker will use his or her knowledge of the characteristics of different vineyard sites combining them to craft a wine in which the sum of the parts is greater than any of the individual components.

The folks at Trinchero Family Estates know a thing or two about terroir. They produce some of California’s most exclusive and expensive single-vineyard bottlings.

Recently discovered as an alternative to big, bold California Chardonnay or aromatic and acidic California Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio hasbecome one of California’s most successful white varietals. Great as a wine for sipping before a meal or with lighter cuisines, this wine tends to be more fruit forward and full bodied than its Italian counterpart. The grapes for this wine were sourced from cooler vineyards west of the Lodi Appellation and coastal vineyards in Santa Barbara County. The Pinot Grigio was cold fermented at 55 degrees in stainless steel to preserve the fresh, delicate characters of the fruit.
