PINOT BLANC Esteemed
in Friuli and Alto Adige, tolerated in Alsace, abused in California, Pinot blanc
has found an important home in Oregon. The same climate and soils that have
made this state famous for Pinot noir and Pinot gris also work for their sibling
Pinot blanc, giving us wines that are racy, yet bold in character. By the 1970’s
in California, producers found that they had no true Pinot blanc in the state,
so David Adelsheim led a program to import two clones directly from Alsace to
Oregon. Thus, we were in on the ground floor with this wine – 1989 was
our first vintage.
