2011 Riesling

2011 Riesling

Appellation: Rattlesnake Hills

The 2011 Vintage: Very cool and wet Spring and mild Summer complicated ripening in 2011, and clusters often ripened unevenly.  A most difficult vintage overcome with late picking and craftsman winemaking yielded higher-acid wines than usual but with attractive fruit.

The Wine: Crisp, clean finish with nice aromas.  Good sugar/acid balance delivers tasty, classic Washington State Riesling abundant with multiple stone fruit flavors.

Food Matches: Asian cuisine, soft white cheeses, lightly-sauced fowl and as a delicious aperitif anytime.Date of Harvest: 11.13.2011
