Godello is a white wine grape planted in Galicia, Spain. On the verge of extinction, Godello was brought back in the 1970s, and now is one of the most popular white wine varieties. Godello wines produced in steel tanks have a crisp, fresh, and fruity with good mineral notes. Godello wines produced with oak are creamy on the palate, which is a direct result of contact with lees. The most notable characteristic of Godello wines is the wildflower flavor and a fuller body than most wines with the same mineral qualities. It is important not to confuse Godello with Verdelho. They are different grapes, but the same name is sometimes used. Godello is also known as Ojo de Gallo, Godenho, Agudelo, and Agodenho.

#32 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023
Delicate red in color. The incredibly expressive bouquet offers notes of sandalwood, herbs de Provence, and Red Delicious apples. On the palate, freshly picked red huckleberries provide tart and lasting succulence with a hint of baking spice. The sandy soils of the Chehalem Mountains offer salinity and minerality on the finish that is complemented with dark cherry and rhubarb.
Review:
Supple, richly textured and elegantly complex, this Pinot opens with a burst of fresh raspberry, then unfolds with notes of forest floor and brown baking spices, plus a touch of licorice as it builds tension toward refined tannins.

The first impression of this stunning red is of brilliant red raspberry fruit, as pure as a sunbeam. Yet an inky depth plays counterpoint, rumbling beneath, dark and a bit spicy, grounding the fruit with tannins from the silica-based soils of Bergström’s estate vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains. The tension between these two elements is gorgeous, the fruit saturating and full, and yet it has an energy and drive giving the texture a lifted, graceful feel.

This Thorn Clarke Mt. Crawford Riesling is a fine example of Mount Crawford climate, soil and aspect combining to display a varietal bouquet of spicy floral characters. With fresh, crisp citrus notes and a long finish on the palate, this wine can be enjoyed with a vast array of foods. The winemaker recommends enjoying this with spicy tandoori chicken.
