94 Points | James Suckling - "Very youthful, peachy nose with notes of elderflowers and Amalfi lemons. Really expands as it aerates. Super-focused on the sleek and very precise palate, with stacks of wet stone minerality in the diamond-bright finish. From a vineyard on volcanic basalt soil. Limited production. Drinkable now, but best from 2025."
Salty nose, oyster shell, lemon and lime with cherry blossom notes and white cherry and white raspberry as well as tangerine, lime leaf, sourdough, lemon balm, kumquat.

Bone dry, high acid Riesling with meyer lemon, green apple, and a bouquet of tropical fruit. Beautiful chemistry. If you’ve never had the chance to meet Carl Muska – the maverick who farms this vineyard – this wine is the next best thing. Swipe right into my heart, bb. <3

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!
