Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
A deliciously balanced, medium-dry Riesling with sweet notes of honeycomb, lime curd, and honey soaked golden raisins.

Enjoy with red shrimp scampi with cherry tomatoes and lemon fromage.
Josh Forkner

A perennial crowd favorite, the 2022 is elegantly balanced with lemon verbena, apricot and citrus blossom. The palate is electric with exhilarating acidity supported by ripe nectarine, quince and golden pear. Not to be passed up!

Winemaking Notes

Heavy frost in April delayed flowering and pushed back the season. Cool temperatures in May and June further delayed the vintage. The fear was that the grapes wouldn't ripen in time for harvest if the rain and cold weather came in early October as usual.
Luckily July and August saw hot temperatures that helped accelerate ripening, and temperatures remained warm, and the rains held off until mid-October, allowing for an extended ripening period.
We let our grapes hang out until the last possible minute, just before the rain and cold weather hit. The 2022 harvest was fast and furious, to say the least! The resultant wines are stunningly balanced and expressive. A truly classic Oregon vintage!
