Ordered this blind at a little Osteria in Belluno (foothills of the Dolomites), this medium bodied white had some interesting tropical fruit on the nose and a viscous mouthfeel that paired nicely with a seafood risotto and a very average bollito Misto. Alma smelled pineapple and crayons and she tasted key lime pie. Quaffable and fun to drink. When in Italy, never shy away from a 25 Euro bottle! — 7 years ago

Stupid good single-site Riesling from the Chehalem Mountains. Impeccable balance. Could totally see calling this as a high-quality Nahe kabinett if blinded on it but at the same time it still has a distinctly Oregonian aura about it. Nose of ripe nectarine, key lime, and honeydew, pure, slate-y wet stone minerality, cherry blossom, subtle cardamom and nutmeg spice, and just a touch of petrol starting to show. Palate echoes the nose, channeled through bracing high acid and an extra layer of flinty mineral focus. Moderate concentration, medium (-) body but with great texture from neutral oak fermentation and elevage and possibly some lees influence as well. As referenced above, sweetness is comparable to some of the less sweet German kabinett wines; delightfully off-dry. Deliciously quenching. Gonna hoard a couple bottles of this because I'd love to see how this fares with a bit more development in bottle. — 9 years ago

Still very young. Orange blossom, rubber, key limes, lemon and tarragon. Medium plus acid and not quite as taught as it once was. Great producer sure, but better rieslings our there for the bucks. Like to see if this would go in a blind line up. — 8 years ago

For someone known for their sweet wines from Barsac, a 94 pt critique from Wine Spectator on a Sec is awesome for them, and I almost agree in my critique. It has a very fragrant nose of white flowers, beeswax, kiwi, and lime zest. The pallet is very zesty, and bright, exhibiting notes of grapefruit, key lime, honeysuckle, vanilla, and a bright mouthwatering acidity to the finish. Lovely and refreshing, but would most certainly see some lovely age. I'd like to lay this vintage down and see what 10 years would do for it. Yum! — 8 years ago

Man, I love this wine. My 2nd time having the 2004, and it's just stellar. I wrote down cinnamon and sweet/pastry/tart (in a very good way)...and went to look at my old review, which said cinnamon and key lime. Well damn, how's that for consistency! — 9 years ago

This has aged beautifully for the wine. A tight acidity is the key to this one going the distance and it seems to always deliver. — 10 years ago
