Wine Review: This white gold colored Pinot Blanc from Oregon opens with a fragrant wet stone and lime bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, acidic and crisp. The flavor profile is a ripe Bosc pear with nicely integrated minerality and hints of apple and pineapple. The finish is dry, crisp and refreshing. This wine is a nice summer offering and would pair perfectly with grilled swordfish kabobs with vegetables. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: White flowers and white pepper accent the smooth palate of this smaller-than-normal production of Pinot Blanc. There is a presence of lovely richness and full palate weight from the close-knit barrel selection, as well and hints of mouthwatering citrus and candied ginger from stainless steel influences. Beautifully round yet focused at the same time, this bi-polar wine is a complete entity; the best of both fermenting worlds.
