Château Bianca 2006 Wetzel Estate Gewürztraminer (Willamette Valley)

Price $16

This has similar, spicy fruit flavors as the winery’s regular Gewürztraminer, but here the sugar comes in at just .08% so the wine feels much more dry. The rich, textural palate adds wet stone to the mix. The alcohol reaches a healthy 14.3% but is not intrusive. — P.G. (11/15/2007)

Château Bianca 2006 Wetzel Estate Riesling (Willamette Valley)

Price $15

This Riesling has more structure and less residual sugar than the winery’s regular bottling, and the pretty, pear-laden fruit falls across the palate with a pleasing stiffness. Lean, textural and layered, the mix of apple, pear and apricot fruit gives it a lightly tropical character. Given its quality, it would behoove the winery to give it a classy screw-cap seal… — P.G.

Château Bianca 2003 Riesling (Willamette Valley)

Best Buy

Price $9

Quite a lovely wine, with a beguiling nose that sends up sweet floral/citrus blossom scents that lead into a core of crisp tangerine/orange peel fruit. There is a very nice grip and concentration to the midpalate, and this is one of those wines that you want to return to again and again. — P.G. (10/1/2004)

Château Bianca 2004 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)

Best Buy

Price $12

Solid, fleshy and mouthfilling, this shows nicely ripened pear and white peach flavors, full and smooth, with good concentration. The alcohol clocks in at just 12.5%, making this a wine you can eagerly refill your glass with. — P.G. (2/1/2006)

Château Bianca 2009 Riesling (Willamette Valley)

Best Buy

Price $12

Off-dry with tangy citrus and orange fruit flavors. A food-friendly style at just 11.5% alcohol, with enough juicy acidity to cut through the sweetness. — P.G. (12/1/2011)

Château Bianca 2005 Cellar Select Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $20

This brings a lot of flavor to the table for its relatively modest price. Round and spicy, it leads with juicy strawberry, cherry and apple pie fruit flavors. Hints of cinnamon wind through the finish, and overall the impression is of a pretty, lively and slightly sweet wine without pretense. — P.G. (11/15/2007)

Château Bianca 2002 Estate Pinot Blanc (Willamette Valley)

Best Buy

Price $12

If you don’t mind a healthy dose of honey flavor in your Pinot Blanc, this is a wine to admire. The elegant fruit nicely blends white peaches and kiwi, and the kiss of honey smoothes out the middle into a very satisfying finish. — P.G. (10/1/2004)

Château Bianca 2006 Gewürztraminer (Willamette Valley)

Best Buy

Price $10

Spicy and dry, this is done to a wickedly tart finish; the flavors are set up beautifully to accompany food. The floral and rose petal scents of the grape are nicely rendered but not overwhelming, and the 1% RS residual sugar is almost invisible given the juicy fruit and acids. — P.G. (11/15/2007)
