Adelsheim Pinot Blanc 07
Adelsheim Pinot Blanc offers peach, citrus zest, melon and floral aromas. On the palate, one finds a fascinating mix of Meyer lemon and casaba melon. There's a mid-palate richness that is offset by the wine's general raciness. It pairs superbly with a wide range of foods - from shellfish, to quiche, and on to spicy Asian food.
MORE INFORMATION
The authentic Pinot blanc probably wouldn't exist in the U.S. at all if David Adelsheim hadn't facilitated the importation of true clones of this variety from Alsace in 1976. Thus, Adelsheim Vineyard got in on this particular game early - their 1989 Pinot blanc was Oregon's second. A score of Oregon wineries have followed.
