2011 RIESLING
Produced as a testament to our belief in Rieslings’ claim to the throne as king of whites, this wine bursts with lemon, peach and wildflower honey tea. From a young block at 1000 feet of elevation on Underwood Mountain, this wine has bright acidity, supple viscosity and a lingering, lip smacking minerality.

- Appellation: Columbia Gorge
- Fermentation: Stainless Steel
- Bottled: March 2012
