This wine is easy to drink and, after tasting it again for the first time in about a year and half, has relaxed much of its acidic and petrol profile. Not to say it is remarkable, but definitely worth keeping around for a while.

This is as good as it gets for Riesling in Willamette in my opinion. The nose is complex, like cotton candy layered on top of pineapple, diesel, and mint. The mouthfeel is pretty typical Riesling—sharply acidic and lightly effervescent. I’m most fascinated by the palate, which follows the same theme that the nose starts but goes harder on vegetation. It starts off with a sweet fruit not unlike Airheads candy, but evolves into lemon and cucumber mint. I had the ‘13 a month ago and I can’t choose a favorite.

Mostly dry with just enough sweetness to be excellent with food. Floral on the nose, almost honey-like, with pear/apple on the palate. Light bodied

Just a touch of sweetness. A nice food wine.
