Tasting Notes:
PDFExpressive aromatics of white flowers, ripe pear and peach are laced with a delightful hint of wet stone minerality. Lively and pure on the palate, with fresh citrus, honey and mouthwatering apricot flavors. A delicious natural acidity and trace of residual sugar provide a balanced, vibrant mouth feel and long, satisfying finish.
Vineyards
The 2018 Poet’s Leap Riesling is an equal blend of three distinct vineyards. German clones from The Benches in the Horse Heaven Hills provide appealing minerality. Yakima Valley’s Phil Church Vineyard contributes citrus aromas and flavors. Dionysus Riesling, from vines planted in 1972, adds vibrant acidity and stone fruit characteristics.
