The Composer is a 100% Riesling and spent 18 month on fine lees in neutral oak barrels. On the nose; tropicals, cream, citrus, gentle spice and white & yellow lilies. On the palate, lemon meringue, apple, pear, tropicals, citrus blend, guava, honeycomb, peach, leehies, very light petrol, white & yellow lilies & nicely rounded acid with a rich, polished finish. Photos of; their private tasting room, tasting bar and view of their estate vines from the winery. All Raza wines are made in very small production...175 cases or less.

Don’t drink this one too cold. Lovely citrus notes, almost like lemon meringue. Such an interesting Riesling coming from Washington.

Honey, honey! Like a honeybee's life work. This Washington Riesling drinks almost like an ice wine from up north. It has a thicker texture that sticks to your mouth longer than German Rieslings. Decent wine. Different enough that it will catch your attention.
