Washington State Riesling

Washington State Riesling Wine Details
Price: $7.99 per bottle

Description: Ted Jordan Meredith, Northwest Wine - Winegrowing Alchemy Along the Pacific Ring of Fire: "The finest Northwest Rieslings occasionally approximate the elusive balance of ripeness, refinement, crisp acidity and complex flavors and scents that is the hallmark of the finer Rieslings from Germany or those from France's Alsace region. .........In America, except perhaps for the Rieslings of the Northwest, these European wines have no equal." This is a GREAT Riesling! The cool fall resulted in grapes with relatively high acid levels. Because of this, I left the residual sweetness of the finished wine at about 2.5%. The balance is wonderful and the fruit flavors are incredible. A slow, cold fermentation allowed the wine to retain its flowery, fragrant aromas and just a hint of "spritz". The crisp acidity perfectly balances out its deep, distinctly varietal flavors.
