Riesling Yakima Valley, Washington

Riesling Yakima Valley, Washington Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: This wine was made from fruit sourced out of the Yakima Valley in eastern Washington. The juice was separated into 4 separate lots and then innoculated with 4 different yeasts. This produces a wine that is wonderfully fruity and has apricot and peaches on the nose, with passion fruit, peach, mango, grapefruit and a hint of banana and flint on the palate. An off dry Riesling it has about 1% residual sugar and is great with a fruit and cheese plate or spicy foods like Mexican and Asian dishes. Recommended by NW Palate magazine: "The aromas of this wine are like smelling a harvest basket of fruit...Viscous flavors of apricot and white peach are mouthfilling, while a wink of zippy acidity on the finish gives verve."
