Chateau Ste. Michelle
Harvest Select Columbia Valley Sweet Riesling
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington. Classic sweet Riesling, aromas of ripe stone fruits and sweet spice. On the palate ripe peach and apricot flavors, good balance with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit character. Nice value. Tasting Sample.

Pale lemon in color with a light golden hue.
Sweet nose of citrus, diesel, minerals, yellow apples, tropical fruits, pears, pineapple, spices and white pepper.
Full bodied and creamy with high acidity and nice legs.
Sweet on the palate with lemons, citrus, apples, ripe pears, herbs, sea salt, white pepper and tropical fruits.
Long finish with tangy limes.
This sweet Riesling from Washington State is still fresh tasting. Not fully balanced, but has a lot of acidity for the sugars. Good by itself as a dessert.
10.5% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
$9.

Oct 19th, 2018While I’m attempting to broaden my wine palette I was told to try a Riesling! This was a great transitional wine for me. Very fruity... peachy... starts out dry with a wonderful sweet crisp ending. The crisp ending was unexpected but welcomed. The 10.5% alcohol was a little low for my spectrum but this was very refreshing for a day on the beach with the ladies.
