Wine Enthusiast – 2019 Tendril Pretender White Pinot Noir
This producer put white Pinot Noir on the map, and this is the best Pretender I’ve tasted. Aged for 16 months in mostly neutral French oak, none of which were new, it has a creamy/dreamy texture with aromas and flavors of golden raspberries, white pear, lemon basil and orange peel.
