Skylark, 2021 Orsi Vineyard Pinot Blanc

Their crisp Pinot Blanc is a wine list favorite, sourced from an old vine vineyard in Mendocino that was originally planted by John Fetzer in the 1970’s. Intense and penetrating on the palate with notes of stone fruit and green apple. Try with any noodle dish. Light straw yellow. High-toned aromatics of lime peel, roasted lemon, Granny Smith apple and a complicating note of pebbled soil. Intense and penetrating on the palate, the flavors follow through with the roasted lemon and green apple enlivened by natural acidity. Deftly light and concentrated at the same time, with the crunchy fruit streaming into a palatestaining finish.

To reflect our palates, the portfolio at Skylark includes crisp, flavorful, aromatic white wines and full-bodied, rich, spicy red wines. As we have long admired the beautiful white wines produced in Alsace and Austria, our Pinot Blanc is a California rendition of a classic European varietal. While we continuously explore the fertile California landscape for red wine vineyards that excite us, our current releases are native to the Rhone Valley in France.
