This particular white is a blend of Pinot and Chardonnay which gives it just the slightest pink tinge in the glass. The OR 2020 vintage was marred by wildfires hence the reason that Pinot is in this white wine. There's just a slight funk on the nose with some white peach and a bit of strawberry. The flavors here tend more toward ripe strawberry and keylime. This is reminding more of a Rose than a white wine. Still I'm enjoying it very much.

This pours out fairly dark in the glass with just a hint of bricking on the edge. The nose shows classic notes of iodine, pencil lead and baking spices. Definitely Old World flavors waft the palate with hints of leather, ripe blackberry and black cherry. The tannins are still quite firm and chewy and the acidity is about medium.

More old world style with mostly dark blue fruit, grippy tannins, some nice herbal notes and a fairly long finish. Definitely not a CA fruit bomb, more on the rustic and dry side.
