Winemaker Dave Sheppard has a way with Pinot Blanc – this is interesting because the Coyote folks don’t grow the grapes on the property – it’s one of the very few grapes they purchase (from Henry of Pelham and Vineland) and is consistently becoming one of their top summer sippers. The nose is largely pear and mac apple, but it’s the palate that keeps you sipping away with the likes of sweet tropical fruit along with pear and crisp apple. The medium length linger on the tongue which might mean you’ll take sips less often, but I doubt that … this one’s delicious and will have you sipping again long before the taste runs out of your mouth – so my advice is to buy a bunch, you’re gonna need the extras especially if you decide to share.
