Syncline is one of my all time favorite producers. This wine is crisp and refreshing , with elements of citrus on the palate.

Hint of white grapefruit/pith. Palate rounding out and missing a bit of focusing acidity.

One of my absolute favorite Washington producers. Dedicated to austerity and subtlety. The harsher skin notes come through to balance out a delicate and beautiful white fruit statement. To call it a guzzler is to do it a disservice. Serious wine.

Best domestic Grüner I've ever had. Lots of green, ripe citrus and orchard fruits, lees influence, and varietal savories (lentil, radish, parsnip, pea purée). 12.7% alcohol puts this in ripe, clean federspiel territory. Similar to Prager or FX in style. There's something special in the Columbia Gorge, I think. Anyone know if this is loess over decomposed basalt in the vineyard?

Syncline is a producer a really enjoy but this was a little too acidic for me. Nothing strong on the nose but crisp apple and citrus to the taste

Killer domestic Gruner. I love what's coming out of Columbia Gorge. 2014 holds up beautifully Great acidity with lots of minerality. Good late spring wine.
