Mercer Estates Riesling 2007

Yakima Valley | Release Date: 2/1/08 | Suggested National Retail Price: $13.99

Riesling grapes grown in Washington State's cooler Yakima Valley appellation produce a brisk, tangy and refreshing wine. Flavors and aromas of apricot, peach and tangerine along with the bracing acidity of the Mercer Estates Riesling reflect the unique character of Washington State Riesling. With little less than a percent and a half of residual sugar this Riesling is a bit dryer than many Rieslings and lends itself quite well to food pairings.
- David Forsyth, Winemaker

"Bright and juicy, a lively mouthful of green apple and slate aromas and flavors, hinting of passion fruit as the off-dry finish persist."
