Description:
Our 2003 Riesling was produced from the vineyards of the Columbia Valley (29%), the Walhuke Slope (22%) and the Yakima Valley (49%). Those terroir along with the average age of 20 years old vines brought to the blend an extreme profundity and complexity.
This 100% Riesling has classic pear and grapefruit flavors which lead to a crisp and seductive mouth feel. The natural acidity well balances the delicate sweetness with an enormous charm. All ends with a dazzling clean and tangy finish which last for a long time.
