Citrus and yeast notes on the nose, with a faint hit of witch hazel. Initial flavor of lemon peel is followed by grapefruit, kumquat, yeast, and grape stem, with crushed rock and honey on a medium finish. Very small bubbles support a quite bright mouthfeel.

Luscious and lively mouthfeel with flavors of honey, citrus, yeast and white peach on the attack and mid palate, with lemon notes on a lingering finish. Delightful!

| Flying Goat Cellars Producer websitePinot Blanc Varietal character (Appellation America)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
