The Eyrie Vineyards Oregon Pinot Blanc 2016
Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThis limited edition bottling is of pinot blanc from Dundee's iconic Eyrie Vineyards and Alsatian clones planted over 25 years ago, plus 1990 plantings, and fruit from the neighbouring Tukwilla vineyard. Destemming and long, cool aging in stainless (11 months) gives a purity and depth of fruit rarely seen in oft-neglected pinot blanc. Yellow apple, orange blossom, white florals, melon, and grapefruit pith are padded with fine lees work, textural and very complete. Acidity is finely threaded, and nervy, and there's a steady lick of anise on the finish, which is welcome and inviting.Tasted: 03 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Oregon | $23.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
