Blanc de Noir
In Stock
Produced in limited quantities using the intricate méthode traditionnelle process, our Blanc de Noir is a white sparkling wine made from “black” Pinot Noir grapes. Aged a minimum of three years on the lees, our Blanc de Noir embodies fruity fleshiness with full body and texture. A favorite among many since our first vintage in 1991 when we were one of the first domestic producers to experiment with a Blanc de Noir, this wine is available exclusively at the winery.
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our Blanc de Noir opens up with wonderful notes of apple blossom, raspberry, lychee, and biscotti. Soft, round, and thought provoking, this wine presents a generous mousse. The palate continues to entice with flavors of Rainier cherry, peach, and a hint of toasted almond. The acid on the entry is bright and fresh, providing nice structure. There is a deep, creamy complexity that evolves into a round finish.
Production Notes
100% Estate Grown Pinot Noir
Food Pairing Notes
Our winemaker Zak suggests enjoying this wine with red snapper sashimi, smoked trout, ratatouille, or penne pasta with Italian sausage and smoked mozzarella. This wine is well balanced between both the fruity and floral notes pair nicely with a fruit tart.
