Blend includes 6% Pinot Meunier and 3% Pinot Blanc, unusual and unique wine, light golden color with aromas of ripe stone fruits and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of apricot and pears with notes of vanilla and floral spice. Medium finish ending with fruit, floral spice and mineral notes.

A nice white from Willamette Valley, Oregon. New one for me, as I never had a white Pinot Noir from the US.

Showing citrus, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices and white pepper.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity and medium plus acidity.

Easy drinking without too much bitterness at the ending. Definitely an above average quality wine.

Good by itself or with food. Crisp and refreshing.

13.7% alcohol by volume.

85 points.

$19.

Apple, lemon drop candy, hay, slate, dried apricot and hints of peach. Great acidity and balance.

2013 white Pinot noir with a screw cap? Preparing for bad news, but damnit willamette, this one is quite good too. Sweet not sugary, very low acidity, working great with a bunch of cheeses. It's desitined for fresh salmon dinner tonight. Will def get again.

A lovely white Pinot noir with a golden color and a crisp flavor that complements appetizers as well as any fish or mussels dish.

A lovely white Pinot Noir (93٪ Pinot Noir & 7% Pinot Blanc) that is quite aromatic with beautiful aromas of honeysuckle, melon, and hints of vanilla. Melon notes continue onto the palate along with a  honeycomb sweetness and slatey minerality into a surprisingly long finish.  Paired great with a creamy alfredo & spicy arugula pasta. My first time having a white Pinot Noir, and I must say I've definitely been missing out! [6/14/21]

A cool experiment. A little simple, but unique. Nutty, fatty mid palate. Acidic, sour on the sides. Crisp, summer fruit finish.

I'd rather have Hexamer's white Pinot Noir. It was okay, but a bit salty and tasted like they softened and fattened it up a too much with forced MLF. Over-priced and that label would scare off anyone in retail. Tastes like it should be $14 and looks like it should be $7 (seriously, that label is SO bad).Loses on both accounts to it's actual asking price of around $20. No thanks.
