教堂屋脊雷司令干白葡萄酒

An unusual combination of flavors that are searingly tart and yet seem to have a sugary core, this is scented with honeysuckle and orange blossom, and opens out quickly into a fruitbowl of ripe, tangy flavors. Apples, pears, oranges, candied lemons, even a hint of papaya are all in the mix. But be ready for some tongue-tangling acidity. ——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 88

From the Oregon side of the Columbia Valley AVA, this off-dry Riesling is reminiscent of some similar wines from farther north, in Canada’s Okanagan. That is to say, it has a certain delicacy, but does not sacrifice any flavor as a result. The lacy layers combine to bring floral, citrus, perfume, stone and fresh-cut apple flavors across the palate. The wine lingers pleasantly and finishes with a tart tang.——P.G.(11/15/2008)—— 88
