Founders' Reserve

2008 Willamette Valley 100% Pinot Blanc

The Willamette Valley Vineyards Founders' Reserve is a remarkable expression of 100% Pinot Blanc from the prestigious Willamette Valley. This vintage showcases a pale straw color, inviting the eye with its shimmering clarity. On the nose, it reveals vibrant aromas of green apple, pear, and hints of citrus zest, promising a delightful palate experience. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied, offering a refreshing balance of acidity that brings a lively character without overwhelming the senses. The clean and crisp profile is complemented by a subtle fruit intensity that maintains an intriguing interplay between brightness and depth. The finish is dry, leaving a mouthwatering sensitivity that beckons another sip, making this wine a fantastic choice for gatherings and celebrations alike.

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
