2010 Riesling, Columbia Valley Off-dry.

Hay-hued green/gold color. Aromas of dried grass form the core of this wine’s nose, with detectable tones of apple and tangerine peel. A light mouthfeel belies the potency of the flavors: focused sweet peach, pear, and grapefruit tones are energetic and long-lived on the palate. Plenty of good acidity frames the juicy sweetness, and accents of minerals and straw help ground the fruit. A tasty wine with real force of flavor. Pair with cold smoked chicken for a refreshing summer treat. $9
