There’s just barely a pinkish hue on this white pinot noir from Oregon’s Utopia Vineyards. It’s one of the driest white wines I’ve ever encountered, a deep dive into lemon peel, sesame seed, and white flowers — none of which evoke pinot noir to me (even as a white wine). While a bit green on the finish, a note of guava gives it an exotic lift that decidedly grows on you over time.
