I think these wines are out of the insanely ripe and partially botrytised zone they were in in the '05-'10 era. The new wines, are poised, fresh, but man is there still a lot of horse power under the hood. Not as squeaky clean as F.X. Pichler or Prager, and the better for it. — 10 years ago

Wow, this shows the extreme difference between botrytis infected👎(inflected) 👎wines and non. Last night, 97 knoll, Gruner Smargd. Tonight, 97 Prager Riesling Smargd ( non botrytis inflected/ infected)
What a frickin delish non infected wine. Prager; absolutely gorgeous after 18 years! Bright yellow with incredible depth of fruit while still having amazing acidity at this age. The Knoll , While drinkable, was past its prime.

Best domestic Grüner I've ever had. Lots of green, ripe citrus and orchard fruits, lees influence, and varietal savories (lentil, radish, parsnip, pea purée). 12.7% alcohol puts this in ripe, clean federspiel territory. Similar to Prager or FX in style. There's something special in the Columbia Gorge, I think. Anyone know if this is loess over decomposed basalt in the vineyard? — 9 years ago
One of my favorite whites of the year. Dry and powerful but hedonistic. Thank you #RoyWelland!
