Introduction:
The 2024 High Hook Pinot Blanc is a vibrant Willamette Valley white that aims to balance fruit purity, minerality, and crisp acidity. It reflects the winery’s philosophy of highlighting site, soil, and subtle winemaking, with an edge of Oregon freshness.

Terroir:
Fruit comes from vineyards in the Willamette Valley, where cool nights, marine influence, and well-draining soils allow for expressive aromatic whites. The combination of climate and soil helps preserve acidity, subtle tension, and mineral lift.

Appearance:
Pale straw with green-tinged highlights. Bright and clear in the glass.

Nose:
Aromas of green apple, pear, citrus blossom, and white stone fruit, complemented by hints of wet stone, white flowers, and light herbal lift.

Palate:
Light to medium body, with crisp acidity and clean texture. Fruit notes of pear, apple, and lemon zest dominate, along with a mineral thread that gives structure. The wine shows modest mid-palate weight, without overt oak or heavy manipulation.

Finish:
Clean and refreshing. Fruit lingers with pear and citrus echoes, while mineral and saline undertones keep the finish lively and balanced.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Grilled scallops with lemon butter or creamy seafood pasta

• Vegetarian option: Spring pea risotto or shaved asparagus salad

• Cheese pairing: Fresh goat cheese or young, mild cheeses to highlight acidity and freshness

Overall Impression:
The 2024 High Hook Pinot Blanc is a crisp, elegant Oregon white—inviting from the first sip with orchard fruit, floral lift, and a minerally backbone. It’s delicate yet expressive, ideal for seafood or lighter fare, and exhibits the clean, site-driven style High Hook pursues.
