This gorgeous new release, from a young winery with a Riesling focus, is resplendent with an enticing mix of flowers, fruits and stone. The scents well up from the glass and the flavors fill the mouth with a lively zest, pulling together streaks of lemon, lime, nectarine and apricot, accented with citrus rind and wet rock, honey and lemon tea. ——P.G.(3/1/2011)—— 93

Oregon has always made great Rieslings, yet few of the state’s winemakers have ever made it a priority. Trisaetum’s James Frey is out to change that, and is off to a great start. This 2008, like its predecessor, captures the complexity, grace and compelling charm of the grape. Dense and still light, it brings honey, tea, lemon, nectarine, jasmine, lime, caramel and sweet nut flavors together, a riotous jumble that is beyond delicious. But wait; it will improve with cellaring. ——P.G.(6/1/2010)—— 94

Done in a spatlese style, this off-dry wine is elegance personified. Complex flavors weave through the palate—sweet hay, honey, citrus and stone fruits, breakfast tea, chamomile, jasmine. It just keeps on going, while retaining a lightness and transparency that rivets your attention. ——P.G.(6/1/2010)—— 93
