The medium straw-colored 2007 Pinot Blanc Estate exhibits aromas of baking spices, mineral, apple, and poached pear. Vibrant on the palate, this lengthy, well-balanced effort will drink well for several more years. The Eyrie Vineyard has not missed a beat since Jason Lett took the reins from his late father, Oregon legend, David Lett. The three white wine offerings listed above offer superb value.Tel.

Estate-grown and aged on the lees in stainless steel, this expressively spicy Pinot Blanc from Eyrie is the last vintage when founder David Lett was alive at crush. It’s a gem, with lively pear, apple and white peach, fresh acids and a lingering finish.——P.G.(12/15/2009)—— 90
