2021 Rhapsody - SOLD OUT
Willamette Valley Pinot Blanc
114 cases produced. $38 SOLD OUT

No malolactic fermentation allows crisp acidity, subtle minerality and spicy characteristics to take center stage.
Nose: Limestone, stonefruit, gooseberry, Key Lime, brioche, white lily.
Palate: Fine-grain texture with a hint of creaminess, balanced acid, lingering finish. Hints of Bosc pear, Gravenstein apple, candied grapefruit, and minerality.
