Pinot Blanc from Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Winemaker Notes

Imagine sticking your nose in a box of fresh, ripe peaches on an ocean beach smelling the salt in the air and about to swallow a fresh oyster. Yup, that is this wine. The palate follows a similar theme: peach followed by pear flavors with a particularly lovely rocky, salinity and broad textures around your tongue. The fruit is a result of long hours of sun kept precise by cool nights. The salinity is the result of the very old ocean floor; sedimentary soils affect the Pinot blanc vines and the resulting minerality captured in the wine.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with oysters or clams on the half shell, freshly cooked Dungeness crab, and sashimi with yuzu.
