2014 is our inaugural release of Pinot blanc from our newest estate vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. The wine is aged and fermented in three different vessels: neutral oak, stainless steel and a tradtional clay amphora.
Striking aromatics of freshly cut grass, honeydew melon and wet stone leap from the glass while the palate stays lithe and textured with generous minerality balancing out bright acidity and fresh fruit. Lime zest, pineapple and guava meets subtler flavors of fresh parsley and dried herbs. TECH DATA AVA: McMinnville Harvest Date: 10.5.14 Finished Alcohol: 13% Aging: 4 months in 44% clay amphora, 36% stainless steel barrel, 20% neutral French oak barrels Bottled: 3.2.15 Production: 258 cases
