Young and sassy, this crisp Pinot Blanc is sourced from two vineyards located at opposite (north and south) ends of the Willamette Valley. I like the mix of apple and pear fruit, the cut of the mid-palate, the hint of minerality and the overall balance. The finish persists long and crystal clear. Owner/winemaker Dave Specter is a retired French horn player who names his wines for favorite compositions (in this instance Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue').
