From 40-year-old vines on the Winkler Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. This wine was fermented in a combination of neutral barrels and stainless steel tanks at lower temperatures to create a crisp white wine with great aromatics. Its' crisp acidity and creamy mid palate make it a fabulous match for all seafood, especially oysters.
This excellent Pinot Blanc is made with fruit plucked from Winkler Vineyard's 40-year-old vines. Its creamy mouthfeel and elevated acidity make it a refreshing treat, with aromas of starfruit and marzipand leading in to flavors like Meyer lemon, fresh basil and almonds." - Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, 93pts Editors Choice
