Semi-desert continental climate, marked temperature swings: signature Pinot Gris (pear, honey, spice, round palate), fresh, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), precise Chardonnay and taut Riesling in the north. Hot south for dense Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot and peppery Syrah. Also exceptional Icewine (Vidal, Riesling).
