2009 Runaway White Pinot Blanc
Don?t be deceived by Meditrina on the label. This wine is a celebration of health, wine and finding a special wine in the cellar. Not to mention, more than fairly priced!
This isn’t about Meditrina. It isn’t about the fact that
long, long ago the Romans named this Goddess after
wine. It is about finding the best in each vintage. It is
about the purity in winemaking. It is about a little gem
from Helmick Hill Vineyard. So clean, fresh and bright,
this pinot blanc deserved its own bottle. Next vintage?
Who knows! This bottling is about pleasant surprises,
and living a full life! Cheers!

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Primary aromas emerge from the glass with red cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and some spice and some with enticing notes of crushed stone. After some time, darker more complex aromas of smoke, game and fresh herbs appear. the wine is a pure expression of Pinot Noir. berries, rocks and a pure elegant focus all integrate. Diaphanous and lacy. the finish is long and earthy. a Classic 2007 Oregon Pinot Noir.

Winemaker Notes
Our goal with the runaway red is to create a lighter bodied pinot noir with bright red fruit flavors. Nothing too aggressive on the palate, with finer grain tannins and pleasant acidity. the grapes were hand sorted and 100% Destemmed. they fermented in individual lots and went through a cold soak for 7-20 days. After racking to barrel, the wines aged for ten months in 80% older barrels and 20% New French and Hungarian Oak. unfined and filtered.
