Cherry Hill is a producer of Pinot Noir in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, a lovely place. They make this Blanc de Pinot Noir by pressing the juice right away, so it has very little “skin time” and doesn’t turn red. The wine has the faintest of peach-pink hues. They call it a white wine, but it reminded me more of a rosé. Very inviting to see a glass of this waiting on the countertop!
At $16.99, it’s a bit on the pricey side for an everyday bottle, but I didn’t feel disappointed. The nose is of honeyed pear but with a more acidic rosé quality. In the mouth it’s pleasingly dry and crisp, with plenty of vinous fruit. A good match for pasta with a creamy sauce, or any light summer fare.

Mmm, you’re making me thirsty 🙂 Not that thirst has anything to do with wine-drinking, of course 😉 Love the colour.
Me too!
I once asked my sister if she wanted another drink. She said she wasn’t thirsty. I didn’t see the connection 😉
Lol. Sure she’s your real sister? She could be a changeling.
She also still lives with my folks. Sometimes I wonder 😉
How very pretty. Hope your weather is still warm. Love hearing of wines from a personal point of view that we will probably never see here.
Thanks! Yes, we are savoring the last precious weeks of summer.
This sounds like a perfect August wine, Linnet. Going to see if I can’t get a request filled out down at the local wine shop. Thanks for the review.
Hope you enjoy it!
