This RIESLING wine was in a case that experienced a cellar flood, so, a mystery vintage of Alpine Riesling from their estate vineyard in the mid-Willamette Valley, but I’m certain it’s between the late 1980s and very early 1990s due to when acquired. At this time, it has just a trace of the sweetness it must have started out with. Coconut, marzipan, and caramel, with a fine acid backbone and long complex finish. — 9 days ago

Attractive, complexing, French quality brettanomyces. Full, optimally ripe, and generous. Quite amazing for a 25 year old 375ml. Perhaps not for everyone but I like it. — a month ago

Pennsylvania Grüner. That’s right, and a very good one at that! Well balanced with pure varietal character and age worthy over several years. — 2 months ago

Contains most all the great attributes of Mosel Riesling Spätlese. Lightness, brightness, and liveliness on its approach to middle age. The 2007s are beautiful now and the best have still more aging potential. — a month ago

On the riper side but still in balance. This is one of the “entry” level Pinots back then. At 21 years it’s still prime drinking but in my opinion should be enjoyed without aging further. — a month ago
