RIESLING ANTSY PANTS (RESERVE)
REVIEW DATE: FEB 2018
Bright straw-yellow. Aromas of citrus pith, quinine and succulent herbs, plus a hint of beeswax in the background. Dry and chewy on the palate, offering bitter pear skin and lemon zest flavors and a gentle suggestion of fennel. Very dry and taut on the finish, which echoes the quinine and lemon notes. -- Josh Raynolds

RIESLING SUNNYSIDE VINEYARD
REVIEW DATE: FEB 2018
Very pale yellow. High-pitched aromas of lime zest, chalky minerals and honeysuckle, along with a spicy ginger topnote. Nervy and sharply focused in style, offering incisive citrus and orchard fruit flavors that deepen steadily through the midpalate. Shows a razor-sharp personality, delivering impressive tension and cut on the persistent finish, which leaves behind bitter grapefruit pith and quinine flourishes. -- Josh Raynolds

RIESLING Willamette Valley
REVIEW DATE: FEB 2018
Light bright yellow. Fresh melon, Meyer lemon and floral scents, along with hints of quinine and fennel. Juicy, focused and light on its feet, offering citrus and orchard fruit flavors that loosen up slowly on the back half. Finishes silky and long, displaying lingering pear nectar and honeysuckle qualities and a snap of tangy acidity. -- Josh Raynolds
