93 Points | James Suckling - "At first tightly wound and youthful on the nose, but as it aerates in the glass the aromas of wildflowers and berries expand and expand. This stridently lemony dry riesling has generous fruit on the front of the medium-bodied palate, then complex wet stone and lemon pith in the bold finish. From vines growing on volcanic basalt soil. Limited production. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."
Deep, balanced, and elegant with mineral-driven notes of slate with notes of spiced pears, lemon, white flowers and stone fruits. Very elegant with razor sharp acidity.

A stunning riesling from the Eola-Amity Hills. Notes of peach, lemon and apricot give way to notes of citrus and pear with laser-focused acidity and a deliciously quenching finish.

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!
