Current status

Young and fresh, suitable for near-term consumption

Current condition

Bright acidity with emerging complexity

The wine’s natural high acidity and mineral character from the Granite soils provide a structure that supports moderate aging. The 2020 Oregon vintage was ripe yet restrained, favoring early to mid-term drinking windows. The blend’s freshness will diminish after 7 years.

Food pairing

Pairs well with seafood (especially shellfish), light poultry dishes, Asian cuisine with fresh herbs, and mild goat cheeses.
