Pinot Grigio, 2008. Painted Van| Wine of the Month Club® - The Original Wine Club Since 1972
Painted Van is a creation of the tasting team at Wine of the Month Club. Actually, it's owner Paul Kalemkiarian and Ed Masciana. We sourced the fruit form Mercer Estates in Prosser, Washington. After trying dozens of samples, this one stood out way above the rest. Our members will be the first to experience this classy selection as it won't be released in stores until next year. And, of course, it will sell for a lot more than the member price.The Mercer Family has been farming these vineyards for four generations. Over the last two decades, Bud Mercer and his son, Rob, have become enthused by wine and have developed the skills for growing ultra-premium wine grapes. The Mercer Family is known throughout eastern Washington for their work ethic and never-ending contributions to the community.Mercer Estates is a family-owned Washington State winery devoted to producing premium wines through a partnership of the Mercer and Hogue families. Guided by more than twenty-five years of grape growing and winemaking experience, their goal is to create outstanding wines that exceed expectations.The state-of-the-art production facility and tasting room is located in Prosser, the birthplace of Washington State's modern wine industry. The winery and many of their estate-owned vineyards is within Yakima Valley, the state's first American Viticultural Area and a source of grapes for more than half of all Washington wines.Pinot Grigio is not well known here. With one taste of this wine you'll wonder why not. The Yakima Valley has been producing outstanding Bordeaux varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc for over half a century. The same soil and climate here are also similar to the soils in Italy where Pinot Grigio is the most favored white wine, as well as in Alsacem, where it is known as Pinot Gris.The grapes were sourced from multiple vineyard sites to bring in specific aromas and flavors that each site offers. Layered aromas of kiwi and grapefruit, accented with an herbal note and hints of anise and spice, mingle with the luscious guava flavors on a bright palate with good acidity. An excellent aperitif and accompaniment to a wide array of foods; enjoy with chicken, shellfish and pasta with cream sauces.
