Pinot blanc can be a bit neutral, but this example offers beautiful aromas of citrus and tropical fruit along with an earthy note that reminds me of my backyard as a kid after a rainstorm.
Fresh and juicy, the medium-to-light bodied palate is fruity and tropical than the nose with a beautiful bit of leesy texture on the mid-palate that is well-balanced by citrusy acidity. As it warms, there is a bit more of that earthiness on the end of a medium finish along with a sprinkling of baking spice.
