2024 Lucy Pico Blanco

A forceful acidity leads off this wine, a terrific blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc coming from two very distinct growing areas in Monterey County. There are notes of light guava, resin, apricot, with hints of muted orange zest and honeydew melon. The wine was fermented in neutral oak barrels. Therefore, it retains its crisp, mineral notes, stone fruit notes, and with the help of native yeast is indicative of Monterey. Made for food specifically, this is a wine that will pair well with a variety of dishes, and it will be very difficult to go wrong with this. If you need a definition of what non-Chardonnay white wine in Monterey is, this is the new benchmark. ORIGIN: Monterey County. ALCOHOL: 13.5%. 570 cases.
