This is the mid-tier Riesling for Columbia Crest, a sensational wine that captures everything that is distinctive and noteworthy about Washington fruit. Fragrant and loaded with floral aromatics, it carries persistent orange blossom and lemon candy scents and flavors into a lush midpalate that touches on tropical papaya and mango. The off-dry residual sweetness plumps it up but is mostly masked by the natural acids, keeping this very food-friendly. 5,000 cases produced. ——P.G.(12/31/2006)—— 89
