Savage Grace 2012 Underwood Mountain Vineyard Riesling (Columbia Gorge (WA))

Country: US / Underwood Mountain Vineyard
Variety: Riesling Washington
Winery: Savage Grace / Columbia Gorge (WA)

An immediately appealing wine with notes of freshly cut apple, apricot, mineral and jasmine. Though it has 17 g/L residual sugar, it drinks barely off dry with the vineyard’s electric acidity more than balancing out the midpalate’s sugar, providing a dry feel to the drawn-out finish. Equal parts phenolic feel and flavor, put it on the dinner table now to see it at its best.
