"A Southern Oregon Riesling that sees time in acacia and concrete is definitely off the grid. It smells as crunchy and fresh as powder snow, with bonus scents like brioche and sweet yellow apples. Flavors like poached pears, sugar cookies and grapefruit br–l,e are backed by crisp acidity. ‡ Michael Alberty"
