Review:

This unique white wine, made in the traditional Italian Pinot Bianco style,  greets your nose with a floral bouquet of honeysuckle and pear blossom while the bright fruit flavors add to the tasting experience and the bright acidity and citrus finish wake up the palate.

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

Sweet creamy pear and crisp citrus with lemon-lime zest in both the scent and flavors of this lovely wine make it a unique and delicious Pinot blanc. Pinot blanc can be a somewhat austere, light wine, but not here. The flavor has a lush quality not common to Pinot blanc, not out of keeping with its varietal character, but "Blanc to the max". It's a very forward wine, with "creamy" a descriptor that comes back again and again as we worked on describing this wine. It lacks that minerality present in the finish of some Pinot blancs, but has everything else in wonderful bounty. Very special.
