James and Andrea Frey’s wine portfolio includes Trisaetum (Willamette Valley, Oregon), 18401 Cellars (Walla Walla, Washington ) and Pashey (Sparkling). These wines are crafted by James Frey at the winery on Ribbon Ridge.

This Dry Riesling is sourced from the Wichmann Dundee Vineyard planted in volcanic sub-soils. Pale yellow in color offering underpinnings of star fruit aromas. Within are ripe orchard pears intertwined with orange peel, pineapple, flint and finely crushed minerals. The elegant fruit glides to a soft, dry finish.
