Ruhlmann Alsace Pinot Blanc Plaisir Fruite, 2018

One Australian wine merchant referred to this as "one of the easiest drinking wines on this planet." And I agree. But while it is easy to drink, it is by no means simple in any way.

Medium straw. Mellow scents and flavors of ripe pears and melon with a bit of honey. Many wines from Alsace are a bit sweet these days, but this Pinot Blanc is perfectly dry. Enough acidity for freshness but not enough to disturb the easy, peaceful feeling on the palate. Subtle twists of flavor on the medium long finish.
