Wine Review: This pale straw colored Pinot Blanc from Oregon opens with a faint ginger ale and lime bouquet with a hint of bee’s wax. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and rather smooth for a Pinot Blanc. There are no edges. The flavor profile is a tasty gentle Anjou pear with notes of mild lime and minerality. I also detected a hint of almond. The finish is dry and its fades away nicely. This Pinot Blanc is extremely food friendly and versatile. I would pair it with Coquilles St. Jacques. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2016 Pinot blanc is our third release from our newest estate vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. Showing distinct aromatics of honeydew melon, grapefruit and wet concrete, this wine is lithe and textured on the palate with creamy softness balancing bright acidity. Lime zest, pineapple and guava complement the more subtle flavors of fresh thyme and dried herbs.
