2005    Trou de Bonde Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Blanc
If you are looking for something refreshing, scrumptous, and price-friendly as the weather heats up, this Pinot Blanc from Trou de Bonde is the ticket. Fruit is sourced from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard, known for Pinot Noir and Syrah. Focusing on this varietal and the obscure Grenache Blanc, Clay Brock, formerly of Edna Valley and Zaca Mesa, has a couple of winners on his hands. Redolent of peaches and honeysuckle with great zingy acidity, this wine is perfect for those who want something less weighty.
