Raptor Ridge
Grüner Veltliner
Chehalem Mountains, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
One of the better Oregon Grüner's I've tasted. The 2014 Raptor Ridge Chehalem Mountain Grüner Veltliner is flat out pretty, with a gorgeous perfume of honeysuckle, line-dried linen, petrichor and wet stones. It's pale straw in the glass with fresh green glints, there is a fine-boned, feminine quality here, acidity in just the right amount to balance citrus, talc and lemon thyme—the predominant flavors that trail to a lengthy, mouthwatering finish. Highly recommended. 12.5% ABV |Sample

Nothing special. Usual profile, medium weight. Not memorable.

So while perusing my local wine and coffee shop I spotted this and thought. . . Eh why not. I have not heard of this type of wine and hope I don't sound ignorant but it reminds me of a chard. I am glad I tried it. Will drink again 😁

Very nice even though I don’t drink Gruner. Sweet side, light, smooth, low acidity.

Crisp refreshing with slight citrus and Gewürztraminer spiciness
