Riesling
A superb Willamette Valley Riesling. Stunning unforgettable aromas of white peach, lemons, limes, white flowers & spice. Delicate, elegant, yet full of complex flavors that flow in seamless waves from front to back, ending with subtle, polished acidity.

1 person found it helpfulJul 31st, 2014Light golden yellow in color. Diesel and sulfur notes in nose initially. Stone fruit flavors in front, rounded mouthfeel followed by slight grape skin astringency with apricot skin like finish. Slightly flawed; needs gentler pressing next time for an otherwise subtle but promising Riesling wine. Odd as previous tastings of same vintage were superior; is it bottle variation, or just me that's variable tonight?

Nov 24th, 2016Yellow white in color. Clean floral and honey aroma. Crisp in mouth with slight astringency at tip of tongue. Soft, lemon flavor in middle, not bone dry but between dry and off-dry. Minerality, citrus and peach water finish. True to variety, simple, tasty, relatively unadorned but very well balanced wine.

Mar 27th, 2024Hints of ripe raspberry on the nose, and a bitter sandalwood-esque bite upon the first sip. I like this wine, it seems to be quite intense and would pair well with red meat.

Feb 15th, 2024It tastes like red fruit and has a current note to it. It feels light-bodied and is not dry. Has a slight burn at the end.

Feb 15th, 2024Red fruit driven - particularly raspberry and cherry. You can tell this just by the aroma. It also has a very light body. Pretty chill this is something I would drink while watching a romcom
