WINE DESCRIPTION
Nestled on a cool, north-facing slope at 1,750 feet, this Pinot Blanc thrives in weathered sandstone and shale soils. The elevation tempers the region's warmth, allowing the grapes to slowly ripen for optimal flavor development. Crafted from a single vineyard in Southern Oregon, this wine showcases the opulent side of Pinot Blanc. Grapes were meticulously chosen and fermented entirely in barrels, with some aged in new French oak, resulting in a rich, intensely flavorful expression of the varietal.

ORIGINS
Winery: Erath
Region: Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry.
Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
