From the winery:

Amity Vineyards has been producing Dry Riesling since 1976. The problem in making a dry Riesling is balancing the acid in the wine. In cool climates like Oregon, Germany and Alsace, the natural acidity in Riesling is usually too high to make a dry wine naturally. So the acid must be balanced. There are three basic ways of doing this: 1) Reducing the acid (a method used in Oregon and Washington); 2) Using residual or added sugar (the method of choice in Germany); or 3) Increasing the alcohol (this is the method used in Alsace). At Amity Vineyards, we balance the acid by leaving a small amount of residual sugar in the wine, resulting in wonderful bouquets and balance, while finishing with a dry taste because of the natural high acid.

The 2001 Dry Riesling is a pretty, delicate wine. The nose has hints of peach, apple and honey, while the palette starts with tart apple that leads into honeyed peach. The 958 cases of 750-ml bottles and 130 cases of 375-ml bottles were produced and bottled in May 2002. The alcohol is 10.5%, the acidity is 7.7 g/L, the pH is 2.98 and the residual sugar is 1.05%.

“If anyone in Oregon has a touch for Riesling, it is Myron Redford.” – Harvey Steiman, San Francisco Chronicle
