100% Pinot Blanc from Alsace, France

TASTING NOTES:

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

87 PTS

Pinot Blanc is one of my favorite white varietals because it delivers great aromatics and pairs effortlessly with light fare. I love that this wine is available in half-bottles for only $10.50 which encourages sampling. For those of you who have never experienced Pinot Blanc, this is a good place to start especially with smaller and affordable 375ML bottles available.
