Sphinx Wallula Vineyard Riesling 2012
Cinnamon. Apples and cinnamon & pineapple. Medium, light body. Creamy. DRY - awesome. Good tartness. A little bit of a funky (off) note in there...can't tell what it is, but blew off over time — 10 years ago

The body is full, lush and rich. Fruits are; lemon, green melon, lime, white peach, passion fruit, grapefruit & pineapple. Honey notes, beeswax, vanillin with beautiful, more pronounced delicate soft minerality and chalkiness, a touch of white spice with spring & yellow fragrant florals. The acidity is round and really good. The rich, balanced, well polished finish is delicious. Nice Egyptian white.

North Coast Brewing Company
Cellar Reserve Old Stock Ale
With a head somewhere between cappuccino and fine rosé champagne both in color and bubble. And a dark Amber body bordering on red, this powerful Sphinx tempts you near its maw. A mallard appears in my glass in the foam voids. There is a sweet cinnamon and cherry candy present, but also a marinated mushroom quality to the nose. You sense the granite jaw, and await the iron fist. But the gloves come off, and this model is lithe after a spin around the sun, exhibiting honey and tea, leather touches, finesse and power seamlessly mesh with a vanilla bean and sweet tobacco, cinnamon and toast component. Your tongue has a new friend! #northcoastbrewing #oldstock #agedbeer — 8 years ago

Serve it cool and I’ll lap it up like the Great Sphinx of Giza. — 4 years ago
