Our 2020 Pinot Blanc was awarded an excellent 90 points by Wine Enthusiast.
“This cool climate wine is tart and pungent and has a touch of the flavor of Sauvignon Blanc, with that same piercing green pepper note. Not that it isn’t sufficiently ripe; it is, and also brings crisp apple and green melon fruit along with some lip-smacking acidity.” – Paul Gregutt
Our 2017 vintage of Pinot Blanc was also awarded 92 points and was ranked #5 in Wine Enthusiast Magazine’s Top 100 Wines of 2018! To reach 90 points for our subsequent vintage is a marker of our winemakers’ consistency with this cool-climate mineral sister to Pinot Gris.
