Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
“Sourced from two own-rooted vineyards, the 2023 Riesling Ara is pale straw/yellow and vibrant with nectarine, lime, petrol, wet stones, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied and zesty, it shows impressive concentration and precision, finishing long with electric acidity. It’s incredible now, but it’s built to age. Drink 2025-2040. 100 cases produced.”
James Suckling: 95 Points
“It’s hard to get past the nose of this great dry riesling because of the way the Amalfi lemon, white peach and floral aromas are intertwined. Then comes the concentrated, super-minerally, medium-bodied palate. Great racy drive and mineral energy in the long and crystalline finish. Limited production. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.”
Vinous Media: 94 Points
“The 2023 Riesling Ara is youthfully coy, mixing nuances of mint, sage, crushed stone and nectarine to form its delicate bouquet. Silken in feel, it displays incredible depth, with masses of tart citrus and green apple intensity enhanced by savory herbal tones, all supported by a core of stimulating acidity. The finish is quite long, echoing sour melon over a saline concentration that adds crunchy persistence. While some will take pleasure in enjoying the Ara today, it will be at its best after a few years of cellaring. Easily one of the most exciting Rieslings I have ever tasted from Oregon.”
