Schrock’s 2005 Weissburgunder shows a pungently herbal character in the nose and toasty nuttiness than the superb 2005, but brings succulent fruit to the palate and finishes strongly with herbs, wet stone, chalk dust, lime, and toasted almond. This restrained, 13% alcohol rendering of Pinot Blanc may well gain stature with a bit more time in bottle, where it has only been for a month. (Incidentally, I was unconvinced by a rather oaky Pinot Gris.)
