2017 Pinot Blanc: #5 in Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Wines

Our 2017 Pinot Blanc is #5 in Wine Enthusiast Magazine’s Top 100 Wines of 2018!

“Wine Enthusiast’s tasting panel reviewed more than 24,000 wines from around the globe, exploring a multitude of regions, styles and price points.”

– Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Out of all these wines, our Pinot Blanc came in #5. What great news for this unusual varietal we like to call the “mineral sister” to Pinot Gris. Here’s the original review posted in Wine Enthusiast in October:

“This sophisticated effort is highlighted by bright, polished fruit flavors of apple, melon and white peach. It’s long and focused, fresh and immaculate, with no apparent new oak. 92 points.” – Paul Gregutt

How do we make our Pinot Blanc? It helps that we have 30 years of experience with Blanc’s sister varietal, Pinot Gris, and a diversity of estate-grown vineyards. We farm our Pinot Blanc vines on three different sites representing diverse soils, elevations and microclimates well-suited to growing this aromatic white wine.

With an accolade this high, our 2017 Pinot Blanc will sell out. Purchase soon before it does. Cheers!
