2008 Novy Family Wines Willamette Valley Blanc de Pinot Noir
13.9% alc., 117 cases, $25, released October 2009. Produced from
a block of Arbre Vert Vineyard planted to Dijon 115 clone which did
not reach full ripeness in 2007. Whole cluster pressed, allowed to
settle for a day, and drained into a combination of stainless steel and
older oak barrels. Fermentation continued and the wine went
through partial malolactic fermentation.
·
Light apricot color in the glass.
Aromas of baked bread, mocha, oak and pear. Delicate flavors of pears, toast
and orange flower water. Welcome acidity without tannins. An appropriate
aperitif or perfect accompaniment to lighter fare and best served slightly chilled.
Good.
