Evesham Wood Blanc du Puit Sec 08
Certified organic, delicious white blend Pinot gris and Gewurztraminer from Evesham Wood's estate vineyard. From the incredible 2008 vintage, the Blanc de Puit Sec is as good as Oregon white wine gets.
"This edition of our Alsatian-styled white blend is 85% pinot gris and15% gewurztraminer with minute quantities of the two German varities, Rieslaner and Kerner. The 2008 vintage turned out to be ideal for the Alsatian varieties, due to its moderately warm growing season and cooler fall temperatures. These conditions produced refreshing acidity in the wine, as well as stronger floral notes and intense varietal flavors of pear and muscat, tempered with subtle mineral notes. 370 cases were bottled in early April 2009." - the winery

2004 vintage tasting notes: "Our first ever "proprietary" white blend of estate-grown pinot gris (75%) and gewurztraminer (25%). This wine combines the subtle minerality and firmness of the former with the floral aromatics and viscosity of the latter. As in 2003, due to the high level of ripeness, we purposely prevented the malo-lactic fermentation from going to completion here so as to preserve the bright acidity in the wine. Also, as you'll notice, this is our first foray into the world of screwcaps. We feel this closure may be the answer for our "early consumption" white wines." - Russ Raney
