Wow! This Pinot Gris led blend from the iconic Puits Sec vineyard cuts an incredible dash through the nose and across the palate. Evesham Wood has been famous since Russ Rainey, and presently Erin Nuccio, set the standard for the Eola Amity Hills in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Pinot Noir always got the headlines, but this white blend has been there from the beginning, mostly Pinot Gris and bursting with flavor. Oregon’s 2024 vintage is shaping up to be an exciting one, featuring perfectly balanced wines with powerful personality. Early release white wines like this are early signs of great things to come. The nose of the Blanc du Puits Sec offers complex notes of pear and Meyer lemon, yellow roses, tangerine, tarragon, rosemary and pepperoncini – with steely mineral tones underneath. The palate is not quite heavy, but intense and vigorous with acidity, showing flavors of white cherry, lemon, lime and pear. The finish is a sunburst of mouth watering citrus and salt. Stock up on this one, this is a white wine you’ll be coming back to again and again.
