WASHINGTON COLUMBIA VALLEY RIESLING

Delicate yet complex, Rieslings grown here offer pronounced ripeness while retaining acidity, showing fantastic floral aromas and flavors of peach and apricot, while maintaining a crisp freshness.

A fresh, well-balanced wine with typical Chardonnay characteristics of tropical citrus aromas and flavors.  Undimmed by oak, the fruit quality of these grapes is allowed to come through, and the rich, round mouthfeel lingers to a long, crisp finish.

Fresh aromas and flavors of ripe honeydew melon, crisp green apple and an attractive floral note.  This wine has an elegant, creamy finish restrained by a refreshing crispness that makes it very food friendly.

Redolent with heady perfume and the aromatic fragrance of lychee, tropical

fruit and rose petals.  Finishing off-dry, its flavors are ample, lusciously fruity and spicy rather than complex.

A complex white wine with beguiling aromas of gooseberry, herbs, pink grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, asparagus, lime-leaf, tropical fruit, and passion fruit.  Long, rich flavors, redolent with grass and currant leaves, and a crisp dry finish.  Serve with oysters, scallops, salmon, spicy food (Hunan Chinese is spectacular!), asparagus, herbed roast chicken and crab.
