2023 St. Innocent Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Blanc Mt. Pisgah Willamette Valley

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.
