The Montinore Almost Dry Riesling is from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The grapes are farmed organically. It has a medium lemon color. Medium(-) intensity of apple aroma and flowers. Off-dry with medium(+) acidity, medium alcohol and body. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. Medium(-) intensity of ripe apples, berries with an herbaceous touch. Medium(-) length. I like the sonorous fruit - ripe apple, pear, raspberry - along with that slightly minty touch. But this Riesling is a bit short, it does not linger and thus it does not leave a lasting expression. Drink within the next 2 years.

In short: 
Average - Good
