Looking for a nice value in dessert wines? This one retails for around $15 and is nice. Golden in color. The nose has nice pineapple fruit, with a bit of lychee and peach. On the palate, the pineapple carries thru. This is sweet. A bit of honey. Nice to have a couple of ounces on its own.
This is made in Oregon from artificially frozen Riesling grapes. It has 23.5% Residual Sugar. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has apricots, slight pineapple and simple syrup. Medium bodied but viscous. Surprisingly good acidity. On the palate, flavors of apricots and peaches. Long finish. This is very tasty. A little goes a long way but it drinks well on its own. It would be good with a barely sweet cookie. It should drink well for another ten to fifteen years.
This is join venture made in Washington state. Back in the day, this was a bit pricey vis a vis the other options but the price has remained stable and now full retail is about $25. A nice wine for that price. Light golden in color. The nose has peaches, minerals and slight char. With air a slight lychee note emerges. On the palate, this is just slightly sweet. Peaches with nice minerality. A softer texture. Nice finish. This is drinking well now and should for the next five to ten at least. It will work with almost any food. Spicy foods would be great!
