McMinnville Riesling
McMinnville, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
A superb Willamette Valley Riesling. Stunning unforgettable aromas of white peach, lemons, limes, white flowers & spice. Delicate, elegant, yet full of complex flavors that flow in seamless waves from front to back, ending with subtle, polished acidity.

Light golden yellow in color. Diesel and sulfur notes in nose initially. Stone fruit flavors in front, rounded mouthfeel followed by slight grape skin astringency with apricot skin like finish. Slightly flawed; needs gentler pressing next time for an otherwise subtle but promising Riesling wine. Odd as previous tastings of same vintage were superior; is it bottle variation, or just me that's variable tonight?

Minerality, citrus and peach water finish. True to variety, simple, tasty, relatively unadorned but very well balanced wine.

Elmers glue, steel, petrol, white flowers, bread dough. Gorgeous. Super clean palate.
