2021 Elk Cove Pinot Blanc Willamette Valley

Winemaker's Notes:  Pear, tangerine and ginger on the nose lead to a juicy, rounded palate of honeydew melon, green apple, Cara Cara orange and a river rock freshness.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2021 Pinot Blanc is bursting with aromas of white peach, quince, honeycomb and flint with spicy undertones. The palate's broad, savory mouthfeel is countered by mouthwatering freshness, and it has a long, textural finish."


Tasting Panel - "Fruit from estate hillside vineyards was whole cluster- pressed and cold-fermented in small stainless-steel tanks to produce this wine. The freshness is apparent, starting with a complex, voluptuous nose of green apple and fresh- squeezed orange. Racy acidity melds with hints of cashew, green tea, and pineapple."


Wine Spectator - "Sleek and vibrant, with kiwi, melon and nectarine flavors that unfold on the lively finish."
