2024 Assiduous "Basor Vineyard" Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Gris
93
Jeb Dunnuck
From a vineyard near Watsonville that doesn’t meet the elevation requirement to be within the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, the 2024 Pinot Gris Basor Vineyard is still from the colder side of the area. Winemaker Keegan Mayo gives 40% of the grapes 24 hours of skin-contact and whole-cluster ferments the rest. Barrel-fermented six months in neutral French oak, it’s a sleek, light-bodied, savory white wine with crunchy texture, racy in acidity, with punches of saline and salty sea air. Drink now.

Email AaronAssiduous are, as I have mentioned before, one of our constant staff favorites. It's because the wine is so legit and the pricing is always more than fair. This has touches of apricot, white flowers, pretty lemon, and just this super light yellow cherry note in the far back along with this super light dried grass note. The palate has green apple, crushed rocks, some flowers, and just this fantastic acidity that makes it super fresh and juicy. I just love this, it's interesting and fresh, and feels like something I want to bring to a dinner just to share this winery with other people. This is a wine that makes me happy. Maybe it'll make you happy too.
