The best Pinot Blancs aren't flashy. They don't dig into your nostrils the way Pinot Gris' do. The best Pinot Blancs approach with a firm handshake of crisp orchard fruit and rock-born minerality. This one offers some orange zest, salt, and flint too. If you take time with the aromas they run as deep as still water. The palate is similarly elegant, with profound orange notes cut with a salt rim, and leaves with a burst of fresh acidity and lilting fruit. This is generally among the best Pinot Blancs made in Oregon, and this vintage stands out from the crowd even further.
