Winter’s Hill Estate 2014 Pearly Everlasting White Table Wine, Dundee Hills, $25
The Gladharts have bottled Pinot Blanc on its own for nearly a decade, but this was the first time they’d created a blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. They name it for a member of the sunflower family found on their estate near Dundee, Ore., a plant that serves as a nursery and source of nectar to butterflies. Aromatically, this blend hints at Asian pear, star fruit, dried apple, celery stock and a whiff of smoke – a sign of its partial fermentation in neutral French oak barrels. Its pleasing mouth feel show more of Pinot Blanc’s subtle elegance as Bosc pear and starfuit flavors are joined by a medium-dry finish, a dusting of minerality, white pepper and endearing crispness.
