This dry white comes from a vineyard planted in 1979. The grapes were foot-stomped, and the wine spent 4 days on the skins. Fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels, this is racy, off-dry, and umami, hence its name. Pair with fish sauce caramel chicken wings.

Production Methods

Natural

Wine made from organically or biodynamically grown grapes with minimal intervention avoiding the use of chemicals, additives and technology.

Orange Wine (Skin Contact)

Orange wine is made by using white wine grapes, which are pressed and left in contact with the skins, seeds, and stems for an extended period of time, similar to how red wine is made.

This prolonged maceration extracts color, tannins, and phenols, giving the wine a darker, sometimes orange color. It also produces a wine with more structure and intense flavor.

Maceration times can vary between a few hours to many months, with longer contact giving more color and extraction.

Staff Pick Notes

An unusual Riesling that shows the most interesting and original side of Oregon. The name is curious, but in the glass it is a serious, precise, and surprisingly elegant wine. It is an off-dry Riesling, with a light sweetness that is perfectly balanced by lively acidity. The aromas mix ripe apple, pear, peach, and citrus peel with notes of honey, wet stone, and light hints of mushroom and forest floor, with a savory (umami) touch that fits the name of the label. On the palate it is fresh, tense, and mineral, with bright acidity that gives energy and a long finish. It is not a classic Riesling and not a wine for everyone: it needs curiosity and attention, but it gives a lot in return. A white wine with character, original but not extreme, able to stand out among more predictable wines.

More About This Wine

Willamette Valley

Perhaps the most familiar wine producing region in Oregon, the Willamette Valley is actually a group of distinct AVA's (American Viticultural Areas). This varied area is home to approximately two thirds of Oregon's wineries. Bounded roughly by the cities of Portland in the north and Eugene in the south, the near-idyllic wine growing region is cradled between the Cascade Mountain Range on its east side and the Coastal Range to the west, and produces some of America's most sublime expressions of...

Riesling

Though the trend is now in the other direction, for many years Riesling was known for producing wines with little alcohol and some residual sugar - too sweet for many modern wine drinkers. Though it's now cultivated worldwide, Riesling is nearly synonymous with German wine, and that country's winemakers have lately begun to produce some very exciting dry versions. They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...

Oregon

The largest wine region in Oregon is the Willamette Valley, lying between the cities of Portland and Eugene and home to most of Oregon’s wineries. As it does not have one homogeneous climate, it has been broken up into several different AVAs. In the best of them, the perfect amounts of wind, rain, sun exposure, and altitude combine to give Pinot Noir the warm days and cool nights it needs in order to thrive. Combine that with good drainage and poor soils, and you’ve got the perfect environment...
