Poet’s Leap 2011 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Riesling Washington
Winery: Poet’s Leap / Columbia Valley (WA)

This shows lively acidity, with ripe but tart fruit and an alcohol level just slightly above 12%. The grapes used were sourced from the Benches (German clones) and old vine plantings at Dionysus. It’s a lush Poet’s Leap, lightly tasting of honey, and loaded with pretty flavors of Meyer lemon, ripe orange, and candied pineapple.
