Very nice. Another Deschutes steelhead trip Riesling. Served chilled with olives, cheeses, and salami. Trip highlight was a double (as in two fish on the same plug at the same time!) 8 lb. hatchery steelhead and 2 lb. smallmouth bass. Landed both. Awesome!!! Oh yeah, the wine; nicely sweet, full mouthfeel, good acidity to balance. Definitely would buy again. Interesting 500 ml bottling. Good QPR.

Floral and honeyd nose with peachy fruit and ginger-like spiciness. Fullbodied and sweet with intense fruit backed by a crisp acidity. Pineapple, peach and apricot as well as apple jam. Some spiciness and almondy roundness in the long finish. A very nice Auslese.

This wine has put on a little bit of weight and maturity since tasted 2 years ago. Very well integrated and shows good terroir. Acid is quieter now but still drinks well.

Tasted at Ravintola Viinille. A year and a half since I last tasted this. Really nice acidity offsetting the sweetness. Really nice light white fruits, this is truly a great sipping wine after a meal. The sweetness is subtle, the wine light, the acidity in place. I like it! 50+4+11+16+8=89

Had at Ravintola Viinille in Turku. A very nice Auslese (my first) with clean tastes of melons and honey. Great acidity to hold the wine up, so the sweetness was not cloying.
