This is sourced primarily from the Viewcrest Vineyard in the Yakima Valley (62%) as well as the 30-year-old Horse Heaven Vineyard (38%), located adjacent to the Columbia River. This semi-sweet Riesling utilizes 7.5% residual sugar. It opens with aromas of petrol, pear and wet stone with honey. There are flavors of pear, golden delicious apple, minerals and nice richness. This open and lithe wine is drinking deliciously now. (Best 2015-2022) - December, 2015 (OB)
