WillaKenzie Estate Pinot Blanc 2006

The 2006 Pinot Blanc has an attractive gold-green color which suggests its bright, fresh quality. The aromas offer a lively blend of tropical fruits — papaya, pineapple and honeydew melon — and subtle floral tones of orange blossom and honeysuckle. The flavors follow the aromas and the wine has richness on the palate that is well balanced by crisp acidity, and a distinctive mineral note on the finish.

This elegant Pinot Blanc should be served chilled, and will drink well over the next 2-3 years. Try it as an aperitif or as a complement to a wide variety of dishes such as shellfish, grilled chicken or grilled vegetables, pasta in a cream sauce, a brunch of quiche and salad, or a dinner of Asian cuisine.
