Auxerrois
Usually more full bodied and less crisp than Pinot Blanc. Citrus flavors, often with a rich, musky aroma profile. It can take on honey flavors and will deepen in color as it ages.

Consistent, but different. Even though we used a new Acacia puncheon and the alcohol was a touch higher that in 2018, there is a continuity. Just like in 2018 this bottling is 100% Auxerrois and it is very much still the older more serious brother to the more light-hearted Willamette Blanc.
Perhaps because of its complexity, simple foods seem to go better with this wine. Razor clams a little garlic, black pepper and salted butter was a great match with this.
