Mercer Estates
Riesling
Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
#AgedWineTuesday
Deep gold in color.
Beautiful nose of diesel, lemons, yellow apples, spices, honeysuckle and minerals.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Off dry on the palate with apples, limes, light tropical fruits, minerals, light peaches and spices.
Long finish with lemons and light herbs.
This 13 year old Riesling from Yakima Valley is drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced, elegant and rich. Complex and entertaining.
Still feels fresh and lively, with enough fruits to balance the acidity. Fruit forward, interesting and delicious.
This gorgeous Riesling will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
At this point, less than 15 bottles are left at the winery cellars. Very cool to try these kind of wines.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.
13.3% alcohol by volume.
94 points.

Clear, pale straw color. Aromas of fresh cut grass, nectarine, white peach. Off dry with a touch of RS for balance to match the vibrant acidity. Additional notes of honeysuckle in the back palate. Medium finish. Great deal from Costco!

Partially cause of the great discount I get but I love it! Off dry Riesling, great German petrol kind of aroma, and a good price. Goes great with aged Gouda
