Young and needed some time to come around, but a beautiful Oregon Riesling. Berserker-day bargain at under $20.

Killer Eola-Amity Hills Riesling. Bill gave this magnum to us as a honeymoon gift after an awesome two-hour visit with him tasting through his current line and seeing the facilities and some of the vineyard blocks he farms. Super great dude, shot the shit with him about Minneapolis as fellow Minnesota natives and had generally an awesome time. Even offered us a Hamm's after the whole tour and tasting, hahaha. Anyway, this sits for a bit on its skins post-press so it's got just a touch of really nice extra phenolic and aromatic boost. Dense, concentrated nose of jasmine, gardenia, all sorts of sweet floral tones, ripe lychee, yellow plum and slightly spiced white peach, a bit of honeyed character, and a great clean river stone minerality. On the palate the nose is echoed but with a bit more mineral intensity. Medium (+) to high acid, medium (-) body but with great round, oily texture from lees contact and the bit of skin maceration. Mostly dry but a tiny bit of perceptible RS is there. Reminds me of some of Koehler-Ruprecht's drier Rieslings. Would certainly reward 5-10 years in the cellar.
