Dave McIntyre, Washington Post
"Peach, pear, chamomile, honeysuckle, and pink rose petals open into bright notes of lemon and lime, carried by zippy acidity and a subtle salty minerality. A touch of fresh ginger gives the palate a little lift, while a quiet savory note reminds me of dried herbs, making me come back to the glass again and again alongside flavors of lemon bar and lemon poppy seed muffin. Beautifully balanced, this is a Riesling that's just as easy to enjoy on its own as it is with dinner."

"This wine is intensely aromatic, opening with notes of chamomile, geranium, and orange blossom alongside bright citrus and tropical hints of mango and guava. The palate unfolds with layers of orange peel, quince, red apple, apricot, and lemongrass, accented by a delicate touch of dill that adds intrigue and complexity. Medium-minus in body with vibrant acidity, it carries a refreshing energy through a long, beautifully balanced finish."

Winemaking Notes

The 2024 growing season began with an early bud break followed by warm and dry weather. Consistent throughout the summer allowed for optimal hang time.

There was a brief heatwave in July, but cool nights helped maintain acidity. Harvest commenced in early October, allowing for a smooth picking process with no pressure to rush.

Overall, fruit quality was outstanding, with balanced acidity and complex flavors. The 2024 vintage yielded vibrant wines with excellent concentration, making it a standout year for Oregon wine.
