Ara Willamette Valley Riesling 2016

Honeycomb, nectar, green apple, white peach. A touch of sweetness with 1pc RS. Attractive texture. A successful wine from a low production winery - only 400 cases made. Should be more than $35. #wbc18 — 8 years ago

Supple and yet fresh. Some minerality but the stoned fruit and softness on the palate are the main features here. Attractive and simple. This is a 2011 tasted in 2018... Holding up well. #wbc18 — 8 years ago
