Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lots of honey is the first impression; this is under 10% alcohol and over 5% residual sugar. Nicely balanced, it still has enough acidity to put a little tartness in the midpalate. The fruit is pretty and the honeyed flavors seductive; it’s not quite sweet enough for most desserts, but a fine apéritif.

Light floral and tea scents, with notes of spice, herb, anise and flowers on the palate. A quiet, delicate wine.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The odd name is taken from Greek mythology; the grapes are Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer, a very clever blend for Oregon, where all three excel. Fragrant, floral and fruity, this wine combines the best qualities of the three grapes, and has a lingering, refreshing presence.

Brooks White Blend - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Pretty and fruit driven, tasting of sweet, jammy preserves, this is very clean, polished and expressive without relying on excessive new oak. Well-structured, with plenty of acid, it is well matched to food and balanced for long-term aging.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Varietal, with lots of vanilla and cherry flavors dominating. Supple and smooth, with good grip and penetration. Velvety finish with a bit of bacon fat.

Baked apple pie, acidity perfectly stands up to full, lush, caramel mouthfeel!

This wine was really nice and held up well with the different entrees that Lauren and I ordered. It has nice structure, a little bit of acid and is not very dry. I liked it very much and would drink it again for sure.
