Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Brimming with the same intense Riesling character of the grapes at harvest, the wine is overflowing with aromas of mandarin orange, honeysuckle, lemon zest and melon. Each sip is light and refreshing with increasing weight and texture that is quickly balanced by the wine's focused, vibrant acidity and modest alcohol. With time, like eyes adjusting to a dark night sky, the wine's elusive mineral quality slowly reveals itself and the potential for added complexity over time.

Professional Ratings

    With a couple of extra years already behind it, this Oregon Riesling is drinking well, but should be consumed now. It has the body of a Chardonnay, rich and round, with mixed stone fruits and a hint of bitter citrus rind. Quite dry and already mature. best Buy.

Firesteed Cellars was founded in 1992 by industry veteran Howard Rossbach.

In 2006, Firesteed established its estate vineyard, Erratic Oaks, which is certified Salmon Safe.

Since its founding, the mission of Firesteed has been to create wines that represent the finest expression of varietals suited to the distinctive growing regions in Oregon, most notably Pinot Noir.

In addition to Pinot Noir, Firesteed is highly regarded for its Pinot Gris and Riesling and has recently released its first-ever series of AVA-specific Pinot Noirs from Dundee Hills and Yamhill Carlton, as well as a vineyard designate Pinot Noir from its estate vineyard, Erratic Oaks. Firesteed also produces a repertoire of limited-production wines including a Rosé of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
