92 Points | James Suckling - Bright nose of sliced apple, pomelo and grapefruit with a hint of spring meadows. Crisp and moderately juicy on the medium-bodied palate with an animating, very well integrated acidity. Long, properly dry salty finish with spot-on balance. A cuvee from more vineyards scattered across the region with volcanic and marine sediment soils. Drink now.
A beautiful entry-level, dry Riesling with notes of citrus, d’anjou pear, and honeysuckle with a slate and sea salt mineral finish.
Sommelier
Enjoy with spring pea pasta with fresh mint, leeks and lemon zest, deglazed with a splash of this wine, then drizzled with fresh cream. Finish with freshly-grated parmesan cheese.
Chef
A blend of the majority of our Willamette Valley Riesling sites, we intend this wine to be highly quaffable and food friendly. Jasmine, citron zest, and wet stones compliment a citrus driven palate of Meyer lemon, green pear and granny smith apple with a quenching saline finish.

Winemaking Notes
Rain events at the beginning of bloom diminished yields, and a dry summer was punctuated with unprecedented heatwaves. The timing worked in our favor since the heat happened pre-veraison, and the vines handled it well.
Harvest started in early September, but lower temperatures across the state allowed for a long and measured harvest season, with harvest extending into mid-October.
No disease, high sugars, balanced acids, and great flavors. 2021 will undoubtedly rank as one of the top Oregon vintages.
