Mason Cellars Three Pears is the perfect trio of bright, nostalgic, and quenching. It’s a delightful Pinot Grigio that’s always accessible with great flavor attributed to a gradual ripening season in the Delta region of Northern California, which allows for subtle fruit expression and great acid retention.
| Wine maker notes |
| Nestled within the Sacramento Delta, our Three Pears Pinot Gris is sourced from an ideal climate for producing crisp, aromatic white wines. The heavy maritime influence cools the afternoon heat with consistent winds, moderating temperature and allowing for clean fruit flavors and great acid retention. Built on the levy system, soils are fertile but well drained tending to produce balanced vines; canopies with great exposure for subtle nuanced flavors. Long, cool fermentation in 100% stainless steel tanks, capture the expressive, clean fruit flavors characteristic of vineyards in this area. Harvested at lower brix, the natural acid levels compliment the crisp apple and pears flavors of our Three Pears. The lengthy fermentation produces wines with great balance, clean mid-palates, rounded out by a slight sweetness. |

| Producer |
| Mason Cellars was founded in Oakville, California in 1993 by Randy and Megan Mason. Family-owned and operated to this day, it is their vision to produce the highest quality wine possible, that is consumer friendly, and available to their customers at a fair market price. Their goal is to create wines that can be readily enjoyed and shared by family and friends. With over 35 years of winemaking in the Napa Valley, Randy is the master behind the wine. Randy Mason has long been recognized by the wine industry as being one of the best Sauvignon Blanc producers in the country. A pioneer in California Sauvignon Blanc, the Mason Sauvignon Blanc set the standard for domestic producers to strive for, with their inaugural release (1996) receiving an unprecedented 91 points from Wine Spectator. Building on the success and groundwork laid by the Mason Sauvignon Blanc, Randy and Megan started to develop a Sauvignon Blanc house with the launch of Pomelo in 2004. A fun and playful spin on California Sauvignon Blanc; Pomelo is a wild success among consumers and press alike. To balance out their Sauvignon Blanc collection, the inaugural 2005 Mason Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is rich, with an expressive style produced from a 35 year old pristine vineyard sitting on a volcanic cinder cone in Sonoma Valley. And finally, after listening to his customers and distributors, Mason decided to produce their first ever Pinot Grigio, called Three Pears; crafted in a light, spirited fashion. It has been extremely well received by the Mason aficionados and a pleasant addition to the Mason family. With the increase in production and expansion into new and exciting brands (Pomelo and Three Pears), the Mason’s longed to showcase their wines in a casual atmosphere all their own. In the winter of 2006, they opened the Mason Cellars Oxbow Tasting Room in downtown Napa with complimentary tastings of their entire collection of red and white wines, all made by Randy Mason, set in a cozy country atmosphere featuring local artists’ paintings and other wine country mercantile goods. |
