Drinking Window: 2023 - 2027
Rich, aged Riesling aromatics that are classic in style. Petrol notes are present on the nose, along with savoury herbs and ripe stone fruit. This warm vintage offers plenty of ripeness and forward character. This cool site in the north end of the Willamette Valley is planted on a former nut orchard. The palate is marked by savoury character and wonderful acidity eight years on. Kumquat, quince paste and pear accent a palate marked by waxy and nutty notes.
