Wine Review: This clear and straw-colored Pinot Blanc from Pax opens with a mild Anjou pear bouquet with hints of faint ginger ale. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, delicate, round, and refined. The flavor profile is mild pear and lemon verbena blend with notes of green apple and chalky minerality. I also detected hints of white peach and ginger ale. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. I would pair this versatile and friendly Pinot Blanc with a pan-fried cod with a lemon butter sauce. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromatic white flowers, lychee and exotic perfumes of musk and sea air. Bright, focused, and alive this wine pulses with electricity. The palate adds some roundness and weight, and all that soft-middle Pinot Blanc fruit is present, but it is the salt and sand and concrete aging that keep the laser beam focus of this wine in the forefront. Impossible to have one sip, you will want to buy this by the case. We think it will compliment your favorite seafood dish.
