Vineyard:

The Arroyo Seco region, with its maritime breezes that blanket the vineyards, has a perfect climate for Pinot Blanc. Arroyo Seco is a sub-appellation within the Monterey AVA, with topography that begins in the west as a steep, narrow canyon and widens in the east as it nears the edge of the Salinas Valley floor. Pinot Blanc is a close relative of Pinot Noir with similar tight clusters, but it is much less fickle than its red cousin. 

Fermentation:

The wine was barrel-fermented in Eastern European and neutral oak.

Aging:

The wine was aged for 7 months in Eastern European and neutral oak barrels prior to bottling.
