A beautiful, secluded, sloping site with great afternoon sun exposure that sits next to the deepest waters of Seneca Lake. This 2nd straight single vineyard Dry Riesling is powerful, mineral driven and zippy. An age-worthy expression that melds lime, apricot and a floral bouquet.” 93 points, Wine & Spirits Magazine OTWC Pinot Noir 2020, Willamette Valley……...….......………..$19.99……….$16.99 “A deep garnet color. Aromas of cranberry, red currant, and tart cherry layer together, complemented by a hint of earth and spice. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine shows bright notes of raspberry and strawberry, followed by baking spices, earthiness, and an additional note of tart cherry returning on the finish. Structured and well-balanced, this Pinot noir is expressive of the region and the vintage.”
