2013 Eisold-Smith "Edel" Columbia Gorge White Blend

Recently I have been trying more white blends from various places and been really enjoying the break from single varietal whites. I picked up this bottle on a whim and did not see any notes in our system about it, but I thought the blend looked interesting. Not having any expectations I was blown away with how much I enjoyed it. The wine is perfectly balanced and understated. You get a hint of honey and floral notes from the Riesling and a touch of weight and spice from the Gewurztraminer. The finish has a lovely minerality from the Pinot Gris and the whole wine was just incredibly enjoyable. The blend is also odd because the breakdown of varietals on the label only adds up to 68%, but as Bryan (the buyer) said to me after I tasted it "68% of awesome is still awesome!"
