Lovely wine, signature Zind style, Indice 1 or dry, has very minute residual sugar. The nose is rich with apricots, parafin, and mineral. On the attack, it is gentle, but finishes up with acidity. Seems both heavier, and not heavy. To me it is the fat nose, the soft attack, which make you expect syrup; however it finishes clean and fresh, with peach and flowers.

Quite possibly my first pinot blanc, so take this one with a grain of salt... Good fruit--Apple, bartlett pear, hint of citrus...Like a decent reisling without the acidity. 88-89 pts. Fun bottle.

really interesting... some dries botrytis flavors of dried apricot and honeycomb. pear and honeydew melon. a really nice, medium (+) finish is where this wine shines. the flavors keep going and going.

Just a really good Pinot Blanc, with almond, honey and spices on the nose. Full and rich. JD91
