Tasting--Columbia-Crest Two Vines Riesling



Name:  Columbia-Crest Two Vines Riesling

Variety:  Riesling Blend (82% Riesling, 18% Gewurztraminer

Region: Horse Haven Hills

Country:  USA (Washington State)

Year: 2010

Price: $8.99

Winemaker's notes (from website): Opens with pears, lime juice, and white flowers. Intense flavors of peach, apricot, and nectarin are joined by honey nuances, tangy acidity, and a hint of sweetness to round it out.

My tasting notes: Aromas of peach on the nose. On the palate, tastes of peach and pears. I thought on the sweet side for Riesling, but still crisp and refreshing.  Acceptable at this price point.  Good with cheese.
