Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling 2013
(Columbia Valley, Washington)

Notes from the Winemaker:
Our Columbia Valley Riesling is a blend of Riesling from throughout Washington's Columbia Valley. Our goal is to craft a refreshing, flavorful, medium-dry Riesling vintage after vintage. The wine offers crisp apple aromas and flavors with subtle mineral notes. This is our everyday Riesling that is a pleasure to drink and easy to match with a variety of foods.

Winemaking:
Riesling grapes were harvested in September and October at the peak of flavor ripeness.
Fermentation temperatures were maintained at 55-60 degrees F to preserve Riesling's fresh and fruity character.
We feature the "Riesling Taste Profile" scale on the back label to demonstrate that this Riesling is made in a medium-dry style.

89 Points & Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast:
"This wine is immediate in its appeal with aromas of lime leaf, flowers and peach. It drinks off dry with a zing of acidity that beautifully frames the full-fruit flavors." - Sean P. Sullivan (12/31/2015)

Wine Spectator:
"Light and tangy, with zip to the apple and floral flavors, finishing off-dry. Drink now." - HS (Dec 31, 2015)
