Ridgecrest, Ribbon Ridge 2021 Estate Willamette Valley Riesling
4532Product Details
Winemaker notes: The warmth of 2021 showed a lot of love for
Riesling, which got a little riper than it normally does, but held on to some
serious acid, giving us the flexibility to play around with balance and
texture. This dry Riesling is skating the off-dry edge, with more density and
slightly more RS than cooler years, so it comes off as fleshy ripe melon,
yellow plum, with a soft and full texture on the palate. The stone fruit angle
brings with it the pith of peach pit, spicy white pepper, baked apple skin, and
a beautiful velour texture to finish. Racy acidity permeates the whole wine,
leaving us yearning for spicy Thai food to pair, a sunny patio, and delightful
company.
