F&G Vineyard

Pinot Blanc was one of the 11 original varietal plantings by Jerry Lohr in Arroyo Seco in 1972.   This year, we are pleased to offer a blend made from grapes with our sustainably farmed joint venture, F&G Vineyard.  The 2024 growing season was characterized by a very cool early spring in the Arroyo Seco.  Fortunately, late spring and summer brought with it daytime highs in the 80s to help fully ripen the grapes.  The weather was perfect to ripen the grapes, revealing the apple blossom, pear, melon, and Meyer lemon flavors while the afternoon winds helped slow the maturity of the grapes and increase their texture.  We harvested this vineyard in two picks - the first to enhance the bright acidity that is the Alsatian side of this grape and the second to provide riper, melon flavors and rich texture to extend the finish.
