This was cataloged into my cellar as 2012 vintage, but was actually the 2011. Medium straw color. Pleasant stone fruit aromas. Smooth with creamy texture on the palate and surprisingly fresh stone fruit flavors for a 12 year old pinot blanc. More substantial than I expected and no signs of oxidation or fading fruit. Paired very nicely with lightly smoke fillet of Walleye. A most enjoyable wine that compliments rather than competes with more delicate seafood.

What an amazing value! Vibrant wine... crisp acidity and fresh minerality. River rocks, honeysuckle, and under-ripe white peach on the nose... maybe some lemongrass. Nice balance. I feel like I stole this wine at this price!

With flowers, restrained white currant, nectarine, and hints of pepper on the nose. Tangy and pithy mouthfeel, solidly structured, enjoyable finish. 88-89.

A value-priced wine at under $15. Nice and crisp. Remembered how pleasant wine from Alsace is.
