WillaKenzie Estate, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Pinot Blanc 2008

($18):  Pinot Blanc can be vapid and boring.  Not this one.  Fuller than most, this lovely example has a stone fruit kind of richness balanced and invigorated by lively acidity in the finish.  It’s an excellent choice as an aperitif that could easily be carried to the table to match with grilled fish, a seafood stew or even roast chicken. 89 Michael Apstein Feb 9, 2010
