Drinking Window: 2023 - 2033
Medium-sweet in style, this wine is simply beautiful. Sourced from one of the older Willamette Valley vineyards at about 250m in Oregon's Coast Range. Aromas of candied ginger, lemon meringue and crushed stone show a compelling old-world character in this wine. The palate offers lanolin, honeyed pear, and ripe pineapple. Brooks shows why they continue to be the state's top Riesling label with this elegant wine.
