Emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of limeade powder, lemon, fresh and floral linen, and lemon oil with a round, soft, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, agreeable finish that presents notes of lemon oil, white flowers, apricot, and baked pear. A lighter, easy drinking white wine that is varietally correct for Pinot Blanc.

About
Pinot Blanc
Pinot Blanc is a white wine, made from the eponymous grape; top examples are produced in California, France and Germany. Sometimes referred to as a "poor man's Chardonnay," Pinot Blanc has flavors of apple and pear and is quite dry; some are made in steel tanks, while more full-bodied versions are aged in oak.

Enjoy these wines upon release and over their first three to five years; pair them with most seafood or lighter poultry dishes.
