Sweet apples on the nose. Great fruit on the palate, with a surprisingly rich medium bodied mouthfeel. This is a kabinett level, with enough acidity to complement the sweetness. Medium finish. I swear I even get a little stoney quality on the mid palate. Doesn't have the layers of a German Riesling, but this is one of the closer versions I've had from USA. I'm intigued to see what Oregon continues to do with Riesling.

the idea is quality fruit for cheap i think. and i think they deliver. this is like $12 and has acidity and minerality to go with teh sweet stuff. not as much as id love but plenty enough to make me say great.

Last of a flight of 4 Rieslings at Merenda in Bend, OR. Color, pale yellow. Fruity nose and palate of white fruits. Lacking in acidity making it somewhat flat. Disappointing.
