Buy it! As many as you can, if you find it on a deal ($25) and drink it every Tuesday night and live like a KING! Very creative packaging, blend of grapes, all of it. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Pretty mediocre cdp that makes me wonder if the pour was bad. A pretty mediocre nose, very thin with almost a paint smell, and the palate didn’t improve the impression—thin is the word I’d use.

Not very good - had previous vintages and liked them. Waste of magnum money. Thin, no depth, weak flavors and a bit musty on the nose. Oh well...down the drain it went.

Update - after more consideration, this was definitely corked. No coaxing over 2 days should shed the mustiness and hollowness of the wine. To the credit of Shelia of Oakville ranch, she offered to replace the bottle without me asking for such. Very much appreciated and classy move.

Tasted at the Wine & Spirits Top 100 Symposium in NYC. This was nicely fruity with pear and peach notes but seemed medium- to low in acidity which seemed strange for a Riesling. I guess the 2017 vintage in Oregon really was warm!

Not ready to drink. Super tight. Doesn't even taste like Zin. Hope this improves.
