Willamette Valley Vineyards White Pinot Noir is a uniquely crafted wine from Oregon's celebrated Willamette Valley appellation. Unlike traditional red Pinot Noir, this wine is made by picking Pinot Noir grapes at peak ripeness and immediately pressing them gently to release free-run juice without extracting color or tannins from the skins. The result is a remarkably clear, nearly colorless wine that belies its rich character and complexity.

The wine is aged using a combination of stainless steel and neutral barrels, preserving its fresh fruit character while adding subtle texture. On the nose, it is floral and inviting, with aromas of peach, strawberry, lemon, and pear. The palate delivers a pleasing combination of white and red wine characteristics — medium-bodied with bright acidity, flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of vanilla and cream, finishing clean and long.

Willamette Valley Vineyards is one of Oregon's most respected producers, known for their expertise with Pinot Noir. This White Pinot Noir earned 89 points from CostcoWineBlog and retails around $25 at Costco. It is an ideal wine for adventurous drinkers looking to explore something unexpected, or for entertaining guests who enjoy a conversation-starting pour. Alcohol: 13.2%.
