2024 Block 22 Pinot Blanc
Aromas of green apple, lime zest, and seaside coastal spray with a hint of oyster shell meet the herbal freshness of fennel fronds, rounding out the nose of our 2024 Pinot Blanc. Bright, balanced acidity, along with a creaminess and a slight note of macadamia nut, lingers through the clean, slightly textural finish. This wine captures the senses of the Oregon coast. Ⓥ
Chestnut barrels were commonplace in European wineries prior to the blight disease of the early 1900’s which severely reduced the number of trees worldwide. Our chestnut barrel aged Pinot Blanc preserves this tradition in a unique Oregon style.

2024 in the Northern Willamette Valley and David Hill the vintage was off to a cool and rainy start, with late bud break leading up to a cool weather pattern in June, bringing a dampness and foggy conditions.
