We tasted this a few months ago with owner Mark Vlossak and it was an instant staff favorite. I'm not sure why Pinot Blanc doesn't get more "love" as it's very food friendly and usually nicely priced. Mark started making this wine back in 1997. He's a true pioneer on the Oregon wine scene, and this comes from his most famous vineyard: Freedom Hill, which of course also produces world class Pinot Noir. Medium weight, with great texture and more aromatics than your usual Pinot Blanc, this is a an example of great vineyard practice and winemaking.

“Weihwasser” meaning Holy Water, from vines in the St. Aldegunder Klosterkammer vineyard near the old church in Alf. Barely off dry with salty lemon, pear and extremely high drinkability. This is a PERFECT old school feinherb as they used to be made, low in alcohol and disappears in the glass before you know it.
