 Tasted by JPPeterson on 2/24/2019 & rated 92 points: Just about everything I look for in a young Riesling. Dry with nice acidity, some light petrol aromas, good minerality, unripe white peach, tree fruit and floral aromas and flavors. (1608 views)
 Tasted by Macki on 8/17/2018: Petrol nose; racy acidity, a little RS, very clean and linear but no finish whatsoever. Very disappointing given the attack. Starts strong and finishes weak. (1546 views)

Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

Dundee Hills

Dundee Hills Winegrowers Association website

Located just 28 miles southwest of Portland, and 40 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, the Dundee Hills appellation is situated within an irregular circle of about 6,490 acres in total, of which more than 1,264 acres of vineyards are planted. This region is unique for its higher elevation, warmer nighttime temperatures, less low-elevation fog and frost, and lava-based Jory soil series of reddish silt, clay and loam soils.
