Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Grüner Veltliner
Winery: Raptor Ridge / Estate
Grüner Veltliner, though still rare, shows good promise in Oregon. This is a big, sappy, ripe version that’s borderline syrupy, with big flavors of peaches and apricots. But the supporting acids, and a lick of mineral, keep it from crashing.
