The 2009 Riesling was sourced from the Hyland Vineyard. It exhibits a fragrant perfume of mineral, spring flowers, citrus, and a hint of tropical fruits. Dry and savory in a Trocken style, it has plenty of mid-palate fruit, excellent balance, and a lengthy finish. Lynn Penner-Ash took full advantage of the outstanding Pinot Noir fruit provided by the 2008 vintage.www.pennerash.com

Outstanding, with a honeyed note that suggests a hint of botrytis. A lovely blending of complex fruits, perfectly set against the acids and residual sugar just over one percent. This resonates beautifully. ——P.G.(10/1/2011)—— 92
