2005 Ken Wright Pinot Blanc

I've been sitting on the last bottle of this Oregon Pinot Blanc for awhile, thinking it would fatten up and enrich. It has, however, turned very interestingly different than I imagined. Overwhelming taste of alcoholic dry cold sake, with big flavors of cucumber, honeydew melon with a crisp pineapple-y finish.

The nose hints of something richer with notes of butterscotch and hyacinth that the palate just does not deliver. I liked it much better as a really young wine with potential than a 3 year old that tastes like a sake. It could keep changing. I honestly think I hid a bottle somewhere that I look forward to finding some day.
