Farming: practicing organic
Husband and wife team, Ross and Bee Maloof, quit their day jobs in 2017 and relocated to the Dundee Hills to fully dedicate themselves to winemaking. They source their grapes from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards, working closely with farmers to produce wines that are full of
energy
. PJs is a great representation of the fun, playful wines theyre known for. The Pinot Gris sees about 21 days on the skins resulting in a deep magenta color. Soft aromas of
wild flowers
and mountain
herbs
lead you to flavors of
candied cherries
,
cranberry
, and
pink lady apples
. The addition of Riesling provides beautifully balanced acidity.
