Barrel fermented white pinot noir that opens like Chardonnay and expresses more pinot noir characteristics as it gets air. I would lay this down for 3-5

This is my second so-called white pinot, and I am just not sure if I like these or not. They are interesting and certainly conversation pieces, but they seem to be a blend of Pinot characteristics and almost mildly oxidized white wine characteristics. Wish we had saved some of this overnight to see how it fared after having been open for a day.

Wasn't sure what to expect or how long to hold the 1 bottle I had. popped late night for an anniversary. Perfect late night wine, white, dry, great bright red fruit. Fun.

Ayoub again doesn’t disappoint. Floral on the nose, warms to buttery notes and then light Pinot characteristics. Great at 5 yrs and I bet better over the next 2-3.

This is a crazy blend of two vineyards. Wonderful fun. Bright, with terrific richness of body. Only 20 cases. Wow!

1st white Pinot Noir I've tasted. Very interesting. Light, but definitely some pinot notes.

Not quite sure about this guy. Is it common to have it labeled "Blanc de Noir" and not be sparkling?
