Mr Whirly says,
“This wine was tasted at the end of August 2009 on my last trip to Oregon. It was the first wine I have had the joy of tasting with the winemakers from Amity and Bethel Heights. We were on the deck of Myron’s house in Amity, a lovely wooden structure surrounded by woods and rolling hills, on a beautiful late summer’s evening with the wonderful echo of the tree frog, underneath the decking, waltzing around the amphitheatre of our little party. It really was a special night and this wine kicked off the show so admirably! I was taken with it immediately, loving the fact that this “ workhorse of Alsace ” was so clean, fresh and vibrant with hints of Lemon sherbet on the nose and pear drops too. It really is a very uplifting wine, very much a special Pinot Blanc to be drunk as an aperitif or with food throughout the year and for many years to come ( it will get better with a little age.)
Review: Wine Enthusiast, December 15th 2009, Paul Gregutt
“ This Pinot Blanc threads honeycomb highlights into juicy, ripe fruit flavours of yellow apples and Asian Pear. Dry with a good grip, it’s another wine that is showing that Oregon winemakers have an opportunity to claim this under-appreciated grape as their own.”
