"It's like drinking satin". The Wadenswil Clone comes from a Swiss town with similar temperatures and rainfall to that of the McMinnville Foothills. Year in, year out this wine is the "prettiest" of the bunch. It lends an effortless bouquet of floral and red fruits with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a silky mix of cherries, strawberries, cola and vanilla.
The clone is sometimes referred to as “tiny hand grenades” for the enormous punch it packs. Our Dijon 115 is no exception. It is a big, full bodied, bold and as juicy as can be.
The 2014 vintage in Oregon produced some of the most ideal conditions for Pinot Noir expression. The Coury Clone, whose signature spice, minerality and black currant flavors are unmistakable is no exception to the rule. It's also hitting its stride right now, just as WineSpectator suggested.
The 2016 Hyland Riesling is a complex, acid-driven treat. It's beginning to flaunt the flinty, matchbox armoas that we love in a good riesling. Those smells blend together with typical lemon-lime, citrusy notes combined with lush white peach and pineapple flavors. It has a weight and minerality behind it that lingers in the finish. Fun and playful in its youth, this will continue to add layers of complexity with each year it's laid down.
