Varietal: Riesling
Wine: Riesling
Label: Columbia Crest Grand Estates
Region: Columbia Valley / Washington State
Year: 2006
Date Tasted: Jan. 2010
Notes: Our purchase of this wine was a result of a Wegmans sommelier taking some time to chat, as well as the fact that as we are soon to add an in-law from that region, it's worth knowing what's worth imbibing up there.
This mid-sweet wine of moderately light body has a mellow, fruity tone. With tastes of apple, apricot, and caramel, this thoughtful (at least, thoughtful for a sweet) wine finishes aromatically and makes a slight smile play while you pause before taking another sip. This wine's age seems to have worked well for it, and at a surprising $10 a bottle, bears an excellent price to taste ratio. The gravitas of this white is enough that I would recommend drinking before the winter is over and you switch to the brighter whites.
