Riesling 2021
Columbia Valley, Washington
Fresh and Appealing
Sourced from German clone plantings and some of the Columbia Valley’s oldest Riesling vines, this wine offers classic and distinctive Riesling character. Notes of citrus, jasmine, pear and honeydew melon combine with an appealing level of minerality and acidity to provide a fresh and lengthy finish. Pair with spicy Thai food, sushi or fried chicken.
