Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
A perfectly balanced, dry Riesling with expressive notes of star fruit, jasmine, nectarine, and sand dollar with a long, yuzu finish.
Jillian Barnhart
Sommelier
This riesling is well balanced and would pair nicely with a lemon butter shrimp with tarragon.
Josh Forkner
Culinary Director
A mineral driven dry Riesling offering up notes of golden pear, peach and musk mellon. The palate is laced with pungent citrus fruits-lemon drop and tangerine-and a piercing saline finish.

Winemaking Notes

A wet, but warm spring with a few mild frosts during late April and fewer than average heat spikes.
Near-record precipitation amounts during late June and early July brought increased disease pressure to the region.
The vintage will be remembered for the early rains in September and rapid cool down into October which challenged harvesting decisions.
The cool vintage came largely from substantially lower maximum temperatures while minimum temperatures were near average to slightly above average.
A classic Oregon vintage!
