See – the problem is with the Pinot Blanc like a lot of under the radar Oregon white wines, the cost to make the wine is just too high.
But a few weeks later a reprieve came in. The Pinot Blanc was named Wine Enthusiast’s #5 Wine of the Year and it was clear that the project would continue – margins be damned.
Since then – with less than 200 cases made – it’s been nearly impossible to secure an allocation especially since the consistent 92+ point scores the wine receives each year. So our only chance is to take what we can get and go out before the scores come in.
The newly released 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Blanc is so bright and refreshing, no doubt thanks to it being a product of 100% stainless steel. But in addition to the stony minerality, it also boasts great flavors of green apple, melon and white peach.
This white wine crushes it with food, mainly seafood but really is so stinking good on its own. I still look down at the glass from time to time and think of what an anomaly it is — one of my favorite Oregon wines is a white wine from lowly Gaston. Not to be missed for dry white wine lovers.

2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.
Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
