The 2008 Riesling Corral Creek with mineral, baking spice, floral notes, and a hint of tropical fruit makes for an alluring, complex perfume. Beautifully balanced, it has 6-8 years of aging potential and could easily last for up to 15 years.
With all of the attention focused on Willamette Valley’s Pinot Noirs, their excellent white wines often get overlooked. This is a shame because there is plenty of quality as well as superb value and no one is doing it better than Chehalem.
