About the Wine: Oregon is best known for its Pinot Noir, to the point that at least one French maker has forsaken Burgundian soil in favor of growing in Oregon. White wine from Oregon is relatively undeveloped as a class.
About THIS Wine: The wine is straw colored and slightly luminous in the glass. The nose is very crisp and zesty with hints of citrus and pine. The palate is smooth and light with notes of pear and apricot fading into a mild citrus finish. All around it is reminiscent of a dry Riesling.
Drinking This Wine: This is a good summer sipping wine for anyone who does not like sweet wines. It would also pair well with shellfish, especially shrimp.
Overall Impression: Dry Rieslings that are comparable in taste can go for upwards of seventeen dollars, making this wine a good value.
