Sommelier
Pair with pan seared halibut with a miso carrot puree and garlic grilled shiitake mushrooms. Serve with a little lemon olive oil micro green salad on top.

A rich and heady riesling. Orange marmalade, wax, brioche seed way to zesty orange peel, citrus and voluminous body.

Winemaking Notes
A wet, cool spring delayed flowering until late June, which set the stage for a later harvest than the previous three vintages.
Hot, dry conditions prevailed through the summer, yielding heat spikes in August. With a larger than normal fruit set, the grapes enjoyed long hang time leading up to harvest. Conditions cooled and brought in scattered rains with the harvest, which began at Brooks on the 28th of September and ran through November 1st, almost returning to normal average harvest dates in the Willamette Valley.
The wines from the vintage show fresh fruit flavors and lively acidity. In all, it will be remembered as a classic vintage in Oregon!
