About the wine
A refreshing Pinot Blanc for those warm-weather days
- This citrusy white will be a huge hit this spring and summer with its zippy flavors of green apple, kiwi and Asian pear—and a nice long finish!
- The majority of this fruit comes from a vineyard Chris owns—that Angels helped him buy!— in Willamette Valley, the first he has farmed himself from start to finish. “The fact that I now own a piece of this is astonishing,” he said.
- Pinot Blanc is rarity in this part of Oregon—most vineyards are planted to Willamette's #1 export—Pinot Noir!—but your support gave Chris the chance to grow a special tiny parcel of a fresh white you'll love. Scoop it up quickly while it lasts!
Best before
Ready to drink now. It will be fantastic this summer on warm evenings while grilling. If you lose it in the wine closet for a couple years, it will still be stellar, but I doubt it will last until June.
Serving advice
Drink it cool! The fine attributes will not disappear if seriously chilled. That said, as the wine warms in the glass, the citrus flavors and acidity fade and serious complexity will develop. I recommend warming at least one glass up with your hands a bit to gain the full appreciation of this wine.
Food match
Flame-kissed meats and seasonal seafood. For me grilled halibut plus Pinot Blanc equals bliss! Playful citrus flavors also make so much sense at my favorite, a Dungeness crab boil on the beach. Who needs lemon when you are pouring this?
