2022 Caleb Leisure ‘I Got it Bad’ Skin Fermented Pinot Gris

A new wine from an appelation and a varietal I've always wanted to work with. This is an electric wine, full of texture, and something of an experiment. The intention was to leave a portion of the lot on the skins in clay until the spring. However, the vessel containing the wine began to seep in the late fall. So the wine came of the skins early, and the vessel was relined. Very surprised and pleased with the results.
