  This is an amazing riesling. I believe it's the best Riesling I have tried from the valley. It's semi sweet, but not a sugar bomb. It has awesome minerality, green apple, citrus, and enough crisp acidity to make this a well rounded wine. It's often consistent year to year as well.

  This is just flat-out delicious. Sweet-ish as the name suggests, but lots of acidity. Grapefruit and a little apple on the nose. Flavor is a little rounder, very ripe pink grapefruit. So very drinkable.

  For me Brooks is making the best riesling in the Pacific Northwest - by far! This bottling is a personal favorite of mine. This is a refreshing but serious bottle of wine. I love the hint of sweetness balanced by crisp acidity. The finish is quite long and very pleasant. I think the acid will allow these to age nicely.

  Why does everyone pay less than me for the wine I buy....anyway, this is the best OR Riesling I've had. I'd say it has only a tinge of acidity, but makes up for that in the finish which lingers like a quality Rheingau can. Subtle apple and floral flavors. I don't think it is a long term keeper, but I'll stash one to see.
