\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Today’s team lunch at Texsom featured Oregon wines. But no reds! This was a chance to look at some of Oregon’s whites, and also to branch out beyond the Willamette Valley a little. The wines were presented by Bree Boskov, and these are my notes.<\/p>\n

Big Table Farm Chardonnay 2015 Willamette Valley, Oregon<\/strong>
\nThere’s a lovely intensity to this wine, with powerful flavours of pear and peach fruit coupled with citrus freshness. Bold yet balanced with a nice ranges of tastes and textures. 92\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Cowhorn Spiral 36 White Table Wine 2015 Applegate Valley, Oregon<\/strong>
\nAlluvial gravels at 1500 feet altitude. The grapes for this wine \u2013 Rousanne, Marsanne and Viognier \u2013 are grown biodynamically. It’s fresh and lively with intense flavours of citrus and pear. Some richness and a spicy twist, finishing with some orange peel notes. 90\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Foris Dry Gewurztraminer 2014 Rogue Valley, Oregon<\/strong>
\nBeautifully floral and grapey with some pear and Turkish delight notes. Fruity with lovely texture and balance, and some fine spiciness. 91\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Brooks Ara Riesling 2015 Willamette Valley, Oregon<\/strong>
\n9.3 g\/l residual sugar. A blend of Yamhill and Estate (Eola Amity Hills) fruit. Powerful and lively with lovely depth of fruit. There’s some honeyed, grapey richness as well as some lively spiciness, and a hint of sweetness on the finish. Lots of potential here. 92\/100<\/p>\n

Ponzi Vineyards Arneis 2014 Willamette Valley, Oregon<\/strong>
\nA slightly odd wine. Lively and intense with a zesty citrus character and some grapefruit pith. Full of flavour with some talcum powder and lime cordial notes. 87\/100<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Eyrie Original Vines Pinot Gris 2015 Oregon<\/strong>
\nThis is thrilling. Lively and complex with apples, pear and spice notes. Has a bit of structure and it’s just so beautiful, in a slightly oxidative style. Some citrus brightness on the finish. 94\/100<\/p>\n

Del Rio Grenache Ros\u00e9 2016 Rogue Valley, Oregon<\/strong>
\nSlightly creamy edge to the red cherry and plum fruit in this attractive ros\u00e9. Has nice texture and a dry finish. 88\/100<\/p>\n
