With some air, this opened a lot to be lean, but balanced by flowery aromatics and complex fruit. Not for contemplation, but like, if you were on a boat and in the sun or something, this may be the perfect bottle.

Jun 18th, 2017Okay, this is an awesome wine! Floral, sweet, fruity, & just the right balance of acid for food. Need to get a couple more bottles!

Wow, a marvelous and unexpected quartet of "white" wines (including white no skin Pinot Noir!) that makes for a spectacular blend, more like avant garde string quartet than a rock band, with dazzling aromatics and a plush structure from Pinot Blanc. My first time tasting Marcus Goodfellow's wines at Matello. The fact he also finds Viognier & Syrah in North Willamette and crafts remarkably true to terroir wines makes this a winery to follow!
