Left Coast began experimenting with cold-pressing Pinot Noir grapes to extract the juice with minimal skin contact. They found a different expression of the variety that Willamette Valley is so well known for and, over a decade later, their White Pinot Noir is still in production. I enjoyed the wine’s wild strawberry, melon, and raspberry notes, and its bright, high acidity and light structure kept me coming back for another sip.
