2024 Bethel Heights Pinot Blanc Willamette Valley soaring tannins frame a wineConcentrated aromatics of dusty rose petals, smoky hoisin sauce and notes of toasted sesame oil. The palate is intense, centred around opaque bramble fruits, there is a muddled strawberry freshness, further carried by spicy chicory root, tart pomegranate, and delicious notes of dried anise. A wine of elegance certainly but with concentration and structure to unwind beautifully over a decade. 97 Jeb Dunnuck 96 Wine Advocate 94+ Vinous 94 James Suckling
