Elevation Cellars 2011 Imperium Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Imperium
Variety: Riesling Washington
Winery: Elevation Cellars / Columbia Valley (WA)

Big for a Riesling, this has concentrated, sappy, rich tropical-fruit flavors. The grapes used were sourced from the Lawrence Vineyard on the Royal Slope. It has a fair amount of residual sugar, adding extra richness. Succulent peach, apricot and papaya notes sends lip-licking flavors deep into the finish.
