Vitners Edge Of The Rainbow

Paetra

Eola-Amity Hills Riesling 2014

Hip hip for the minimal intervention in Eola-Amity. This vernal Paetra Riesling is just what this trout fly fisherman is looking to pair with gently grilled Rainbow stuffed with sliced lemon and served atop a fava bean, sliced fennel and watercress -and just in time for Mother's Day. Nearly dry and absolutely nervy, this has a dynamic tension, plenty of citrus and orchard fruit and a spearmint, chopped celery frond and sugar snap pea edge to throw it all into relief and pull its chair to the table. In this glass 2014 has proven a fine year for Riesling in Willamette Valley. Spontaneous fermentation lasting 6 months preserves nuance and clarity with ample "schponti" charms and at 12.5% ABV it's all the more appetizing. Find this wine. — 10 years ago
