100%	Riesling
Appellation:	Columbia Valley
PH:	3.06
Barrel Aging:
100%	Stainless Steel
Bottling Date:	February 2011

Vineyard Notes:	Bacchus (Columbia Valley) 100%
Production Notes:	The 2010 growing season was the coolest since 1999. While a warm spell in August helped push ripening along, our harvest was still delayed up to two weeks later than normal. The mild temperatures ensured great structure in all of our white wines.
Winemaker Notes:	All of the fruit for our 2010 Riesling came from the Bacchus Vineyard located near Pasco, WA on southwest-facing hillsides above the Columbia River. After harvest, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed and the juice was allowed to settle at 50F before racking off the solids. We inoculated with a Riesling-specific yeast and fermented the juice at a relatively cool temperature. Fermentation was stopped to soften the wine’s crisp acidity. Our 2010 Riesling explodes with apricot, lychee, tropical fruits and yellow peach. The flavors are juicy, fruity, and sweetly crisp.
