Lily 4 Items

The Lily wines were named after the President and C.E.O. of Billington Imports, Alex Bartholomaus', daughter. Grapes for these wines were sourced from the Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Carneros regions of California. Specific vineyard sites were chosen because of their cool climates, long hang-time and complexity of fruit. The wines represent the true artistic nature of winemaking in some of California's boutique wineries. The Lily Pinot Noir and Chardonnay represent the true character of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from these areas of the country.

This area of California was once thought to be too cold to grow Pinot Noir. Now it's known as one of the top Pinot Noir sections of California. Recently growers have been moving out to the western outskirts of the county because they have learned that this land proves to be the best in the county with its ripe fruit and low yields.
