The Story
Ken Wright Tyrus Evan Pinot Gris is a sophisticated and textured expression of the varietal, produced under the "Tyrus Evan" label to explore unique vineyard sites outside of the primary estate. Unlike lighter, neutral styles, this wine is crafted with a focus on aromatic intensity and palate weight. It offers an inviting bouquet of ripe pear, Meyer lemon, and white peach, often accompanied by subtle notes of honeysuckle and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a rich, slightly oily texture—the result of extended lees contact—which is beautifully balanced by a crisp, refreshing acidity. The finish is long and clean, showcasing a refined mineral edge and pure fruit character.
