| Varietal | Dry Riesling | |||
| Region | USA: WA - Columbia Valley | |||
| Notes | "Citrus fruits lifted by pear blossom and a whiff of brown spices on the aromatic nose. Racy acidity nicely counters the wine's surprisingly rich texture and moderately sweet (8.5 g/l r.s.) citrus and peach flavors. A fairly substantial, immediately gulpable Riesling with good finishing saline minerality and surprising firmness." (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous) | |||
Additional Notes "The aromas pop, with notes of rubbed lime leaf, citrus, white peach and cut green apple. Sleek, bone-dry, Nestea Lemon Iced Tea flavors follow, with the finish sailing. This is always one of the best wine values on the shelf, and this vintage does not disappoint." (Wine Enthusiast) |
