    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    This is the one where you try and fool your friends into guessing this is from a warm region in Germany like the Pfalz or Mittelrhein, or maybe even a Clare Valley Riesling from Australia. Straight up distinctive gasoline high notes. Candy green apple, lemon peel,nectarine, tangerine, slatey, with a perception of rocks and stones in the nose.

    Extreme acidity, terroir driven, a squeeze of lime, Margarita, tangerine, and intense citrus notes. Definitely a unique personality for fans of the old world and for lovers of terroir and acid driven wines, with its fresh citrus and lean tart fruit finish. Beautifullaser like precision finishing with a long mineral bright finish.

    Pour this alongside a platter of oysters on a hot day, or enjoy witha giant shellfish platter or artisan goat cheeses at the end or beginning of the meal.

    Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.

    One of Pinot Noir's most successful New World outposts, the Willamette Valley is the largest and most important AVA in Oregon. With a continental climate moderated by the influence of the Pacific Ocean, it is perfect for cool-climate viticulture and the production of elegant wines.

    Mountain ranges bordering three sides of the valley, particularly the Chehalem Mountains, provide the option for higher-elevation vineyard sites.

    The valley's three prominent soil types (volcanic, sedimentary and silty, loess) make it unique and create significant differences in wine styles among its vineyards and sub-AVAs. The iron-rich, basalt-based, Jory volcanic soils found commonly in the Dundee Hills are rich in clay and hold water well; the chalky, sedimentary soils of Ribbon Ridge, Yamhill-Carlton and McMinnville encourage complex root systems as vines struggle to search for water and minerals. In the most southern stretch of the Willamette, the Eola-Amity Hills sub-AVA soils are mixed, shallow and well-drained. The Hills' close proximity to the Van Duzer Corridor (which became its own appellation as of 2019) also creates grapes with great concentration and firm acidity, leading to wines that perfectly express both power and grace.

    Though Pinot noir enjoys the limelight here, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay also thrive in the Willamette. Increasing curiosity has risen recently in the potential of others like Grüner Veltliner, Chenin Blanc and Gamay.
