Russiz Superiore offers a delicious Pinot Bianco with natural heft and creaminess backed by apricot, cantaloupe melon and white rose. The thickness of the wine is balanced by a touch of spicy acidity.——M.L.(3/1/2012)—— 88

Here is a Pinot Bianco with structure, character (15% is aged in older wood) and bright tones of yellow fruit, peach, apricot and a touch of lemon zest. The wine is smooth and satisfying with a bright, fresh close.——M.L.(8/1/2009)—— 87
