Enchanting nose of orange blossoms, mandarin oranges, white peaches and lime zest. Concentrated and succulent with an uplifting vitality, this barely off-dry and barely medium-bodied riesling has fantastic purity in the finish. From a very high-altitude vineyard with Willakenzie marine sediment soil. Limited production. Drink or hold.
Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
Country United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Region Oregon
The beautiful state of Oregon has, over the past few decades, become increasingly well known and respected for its wine industry, with several small but significant wineries within the state receiving world wide attention for the quality of their produce. Whilst the first vineyards within Oregon were planted in the 1840s, the state's wine industry didn't really take off until the 1960s, when several wine producers from California discovered that the cooler regions of the state were ideal for cultivating various fine grape varietals. Today, Oregon has over four hundred and fifty wineries in operation, the vast majority of which are used for the production of wines made from Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir varietal grapes, both of which thrive in the valleys and mountainsides which characterise the landscape of the state.
Appellation Willamette Valley
The beautiful wine region of Willamette Valley is located in Oregon, one of the main wine producing states of the USA. As in much of Oregon, Willamette Valley benefits enormously from the long, hot summers the state enjoys, and the mineral rich soils which typify the wine regions found there. Willamette Valley has built up a powerful reputation over the past few decades as one of the New World's leading producers of high quality, flavorful and characterful Pinot Noir wines, as the grapes of the Pinot Noir vine thrive particularly well in the region's climatic conditions. Willamette Valley is a fascinating wine region, and is a fine representative for the state of Oregon. Innovative techniques and wine making methods are fairly commonplace there, and the overall produce of the region seems to get better each year.

Planted in 1983 at an 800-foot elevation, the 2022 Riesling Bois Joli Vineyard boasts notes of white pepper, lemon grass, green pear, and fresh flowers. Off-dry, but with a kiss of sweetness that’s not cloying, it’s medium-bodied and linear, with a great, long finish. It has a Germanic feel and is going to drink well over the next 10-15 years.

Lime sorbet, minty herbs and hints of gingery spice waft up from the 2022 Riesling Bois Joli Vineyard. It opens with a lovely inner sweetness and tropical citrus tones that complement its tart orchard fruits. This finishes with a savory, nearly blue-cheese-like, sweet-and-sour sensation that I find quite attractive, leaving notes of kiwi and lime to linger.
Winery Notes
The Bois Joli Riesling is a white wine characterized by its vibrant acidity and refreshing profile. It features notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, complemented by a hint of floral aromas. The wine is crafted from grapes grown in a cool climate, which enhances its crispness and minerality. It's recommended for pairing with seafood, salads, and light dishes, making it a versatile choice for various occasions.
This extraordinary Oregon pinot noir marries incredible concentration with equally extraordinary spicy and earthy complexity on the compact, yet silky,…
