Brandborg 2008 Riesling (Umpqua Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Riesling Oregon
Winery: Brandborg / Umpqua Valley

A bracing, tart Riesling, quite dry and still under 13% alcohol, this mixes green apples, fresh citrus, pineapple and unusual suggestions of clove and spice. It’s a fine follow-up to the winery’s excellent 2007 bottling, though perhaps not quite as concentrated.
