Willowbrook Cellars
Lake County, California
From a world-renowned winemaker, a Pinot Gris that bursts with flavor
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Willowbrook Cellars
Pinot Gris
Joe Otos has a reputation in California few winemakers can match. With a number of 90+ point, gold-medal winning wines under his belt he's, today, one of the most acclaimed winemakers working in California. Famous, and notorious, for his meticulous attention to every step of the winemaking process, from cultivation to harvesting, to processing and maturation, Otos only crafts delicious, drinkable and high-quality wine.
This Pinot Gris, produce at Otos’ Willowbrook Cellars winery, comes from the fecund volcanic soils of California’s High Valley, more than 2000 feet above sea level. While the volcanic quality of the soil restricts grape production, the decrease in quantity leads to an increase in the amount nutrients and sunlight concentrated in the fruit produced. This translates into incomparably vibrant wines that are flavorful from the first sip.

WINE REGION:
Lake County
It might be called Lake County, but it is actually volcanoes that give this rugged northern California region its distinct terroir. Part of the North Coast AVA, Lake County lies just north of Napa. Ancient, mineral-rich soils help deliver bold but impressively elegant reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, and whites like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The vines benefit from the maritime conditions around Clear Lake—California's largest body of fresh water. Its influence brings low nighttime temperatures to balance the hot days, slowing the grapes' ripening and producing wines with intensely concentrated flavors.
