Friedrich Becker Family, Pflaz (Germany) Pinot Blanc 2016

While Pinot Blanc is often a pleasurable, easy-to-drink white wine, it does not often achieve this degree of depth and character.  The Becker Family Pfalz Pinot Blanc is a delicious, layered, exotic, elegant and dry rendition of the grape.  The bouquet is fresh and forward with grapefruit, apple, peach and guava fruit scents interwoven with floral and spice tones.  The layers of luscious peach, citrus and tropical fruit flavors unfold across the palate followed by subtleties of spice and a minerally-clean, dry finish.  It’s a stellar summertime white to enjoy anytime over the next 2 to 3 years.
