  July 29, 2014 - Light-to-medium bodied with a nice mouthfeel hinting of glycerin, but unfortunately thin on flavor, with understated notes of lemon, salt, some minerality and herbs. The medium-high acidity overshadows the fruit.

  July 8, 2013 - Smooth and round with a nice hint of butterscotch and apricot. Medium body and only slightly acidic with more of a creamy almost chardonnay like texture.

  March 7, 2013 - Willamette Valley Wines presents: Pinot in the City (City Winery, Chicago, IL): Nose: Fresh and aromatic tones of melons, spice tones, and some marmalade with a touch of white fruits.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. The tones of melons, marmalade, and white fruits are well balanced but the mid-palate is completely lacking.
  
  Overall: This is a good pinot blanc. It isn't as crisp and focused as I would want and seems a bit larger, but the lacking of a mid-palate is the main problem. It's a very drinkable wine, just not a memorable one.
