Flavor Notes

Lemon
Nectarine
Pear
Pineapple

The Pinot Blanc is my favorite white varietal because it's dry, crisp & has great acidity! It pairs perfectly with the Spring & Summer sunshine, my deck and friends!

Heather, Brooks' Director of Wine Club Happiness
This Pinot Blanc is ready to party poolside, it’s sunshine in a glass with fresh notes of pineapple, kaffir lime leaf, and bee pollen with a thirst-quenching saline finish.

Enjoy with a warm vanilla souffle with a compote of stone fruit (peaches, nectarines, apricot) and a silky pineapple ice cream.

Lemon zest, beeswax and nectarine highlight the nose, giving way to a bright pineapple and invigorating, briny finish.

Winemaking Notes

Rain events at the beginning of bloom diminished yields, and a dry summer was punctuated with unprecedented heatwaves. The timing worked in our favor since the heat happened pre-veraison, and the vines handled it well.

Harvest started in early September, but lower temperatures across the state allowed for a long and measured harvest season, with harvest extending into mid-October.

No disease, high sugars, balanced acids, and great flavors. 2021 will undoubtedly rank as one of the top Oregon vintages.
