79. Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards 2013 Grüner Veltliner, Umpqua Valley, $24
Stephen Reustle has been a godsend for this Austrian variety in the U.S., blazing the trail for this grape. The Rutgers University product first planted it in the Umpqua Valley in 2005, and those who desire dry Riesling should appreciate this. Aromas of elderflower, Asian pear and Granny Smith apple lead to flavors of Key lime pie and yellow grapefruit with Granny Smith apple peel bite in the finish.
