Iapyx- 2012 - Canyon Wind Cellars

2012 Iapyx
Creation
The god of the northwest wind, Iapyx, was often
associated with Boreas (the god of the north wind) and
represented the cooler days and nights indicative of the
onset of winter.
2012 was a warm season from start to finish and
developed into the earliest harvest in the twenty-one
year history of our vineyard. The hot days, cool nights
and early start to the season provided us with the
perfect combination of growing conditions to reach 28°
Brix at harvest, while maintaining the delightful fruit
characteristics typical of Pinot Gris.
A late harvest Pinot Gris, the 2012 Iapyx was slowly
fermented in order to capture the delicate, bright fruit
aromas of plantain, pear, cinnamon and a touch of rose
water and lavender. Flavors of peach, kumquat,
cinnamon and the slightest hint of sour apple combine
delightfully for a perfect sugar-acid balance. A true
Nectar of the Gods!
