2012 Matello Riesling- USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley (11/18/2017)
Light straw color with white peach nose. Lightly dry with tart fruit, gooseberries, light steely mineral. Refreshing and light on it’s feet, clear and crisp. (92 pts.)
The first Matello I had was a white blend from StoryTeller. I kept saying I need to get more. Our house drinks more white than red. I’m close to 50/50 now with a proclivity towards Riesling, though I buy more Chard and Sauv Blanc and msGris has a hard time not opening a Pinot Gris.
