Once again, another bottle of Trisaetum worthy of one of the best American Rieslings. No American winery I have tasted rieslings from is as consistently great as Trisaetum, in my humble opinion. Mouthwatering acidity, minerality and slight hints of Petrol with some apple notes in the fruit spectrum.

I'm going to have to agree, this is the best American Riesling I have ever had, although by a small margin. Surprisingly subdued nose, some ripe apple, skins, and honeydew aromas. The palate is another story. Great texture. Wonderful fruit flavors here, long expressions of apple fruit, young peach, kiwi. These intermingle and relax into a finish that shows this wonderful sweet and sour flavor that is just amazing, the larger amount of RS here and strong acidity is amazingly integrated at this point. Long finish with lingering fruit and acid, making the mouth water for another sip. Overall, this stuff is absolutely fantastic. A bit more expensive although now I understand why. Tip: Don't chill this down too far, or if you do, don't give your final impression until you've let it get up to at least cellar temp. Right out of the fridge, it's a bit mute. 55-60F is where this wine showed it's best, IMO.
This is hands down the best American Riesling I have ever drank. Upon opening it had a hypnotic nose of Granny Smith apples, pears and citrus. The sweetness level would be very similar to a Spatlese. The flavors burst like a flavor bomb going off in your mouth. They go on and on and your mouth waters for minutes afterwards. This belongs in the Smithsonian for American Riesling. Can't wait for it to have age. This will rival some of the best J.J.Prum Spatlese I have had!

Just incredible for a New World Riesling! I don't know how James coaxes those German qualities out of his grapes, but it truly is impressive.

2 Days in the Valley- Day 1 (Willamette Valley, OR): Nose: This is very fresh and balanced with tones of citrus, pears, fig, white fruits, and a good dose of minerals.
Taste: Light bodied with racy high acidity that is a bit punishing. There is some decent depth with tones of citrus, pears, figs, and minerals.
Overall: The dryness is a bit punishing even for me. But, there are really nice tones on both the nose and palate.

Very nice acidity. Pear and green apple. A little yeasty. Slight viscosity. This is good now, and gonna be great down the road.
