Pinot Blanc, which is a relative of Chardonnay, has a similar set of flavors. In northern Italy, Alsace and in Austria it is almost always produced without any oak influence - the opposite of the typical approach with Chardonnay. In style it is a nod to Alsace, where Pinot Blanc usually has a little more body than those from Fruili or Trentino-Alto Adige. The grape obviously thrives in the cooler climes of Mendocino County where it ripens but maintains its bright fruit intensity. This version shows lovely flavors of yellow apple and melon balanced by excellent acidity, and a nice citrusy finish. - Jeff Prather
