This is a serious value from Willamette. Single-vineyard Pinot Blanc with lovely aromatics, purity and vibrancy. Delicate florals and loads of acidity. One of the more elegant whites from Oregon available at this price point. Very Alsatian in character. Ideal shellfish wine.

Great underripe apricot skin and pear skin, good malo amount, that balances well with the acidity. Zingy but has enough weight on it.

Although the nose on this wine is slightly closed it does display slight melon and peach hints. On the palate it tastes of pineapple and peaches with a spicy acidity. This is pretty decent and very similar to Alsatian Pinot Blanc.

Still trying to pin everything down on this one. Fermented 82% in stainless steel, 18% in barrel on the lees for 8 months. Slightly sweaty on the nose plus something rubbery. Fuller body with apples and round citrus, rich texture, and a creamy finish. Drink up the 2018.
Amendment: This continues to open up and show a serious side. Beautiful mineral character shining through. Slate? Gravel?

Full and richly textured with striking minerality on the nose and the palate. #OPC2015

Tart vibrant with lots of lemon zest. Refreshing and perfect for a summer day.
