Sphinx Wallula Vineyard Riesling
Horse Heaven Hills, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Workaday Reisling that is well made but a touch plodding/evolved at the moment. I don't expect this to improve. A pity as it was a child's birth year.

Overly acidic and unbalanced dry Riesling. Some notes of pear and honey but no backing mineralogy. Disappointing.

Jun 8th, 2018Dry with fairly high acid content. Straw color. Unremarkable but at least not overly sweet like most Washington rieslings. Thin. Drinkable but disappointing.

Interesting. Some petroleum flavors. Big acid. Lacks refinement

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
