Great domestic Riesling. Slatey minerality and steely acidity balanced with just the perfect shade of residual sugar. Some hints of petrol already there which will develop nicely as this ages. Would like to revisit in 10+ years!

Willamette Valley for Memorial day weekend and a peak at 2012; 5/25/2013-5/26/2013: I think someone said these were own rooted Riesling vines, but I'm not sure. They certainly are some of the oldest Riesling vines in the area. The aromas on this were very soft and light. The palate was light in flavor again, with nice pleasing body. Supposedly this has 9 grams total acidity, but you'd never know on the palate. However, the finish absolutely explodes with acid. Like the volume just got turned up. Very interesting how soft it is on the palate and then this eruption on the finish. An odd personality, but I quite like it.
