點擊次數(shù)：1709

A leesy, textural, racy and refreshing Riesling, this is loaded with lime, grapefruit and melon flavors. There is a streak of gin-like botanicals as well, and a rich, resonant finish. — (9/1/2012) —92

With 1.7% residual sugar keeping the alcohol at 12.8%, this fresh and lively Riesling, from veteran growers, has the complex mix of citrus, pineapple, rind and rock that puts Washington’s best in a league of their own. Rich and bracing and fully ready to drink. ——P.G.(11/1/2011)—— 91

This ripe and rich Riesling continues a string of successes with this grape from Gamache Vintners. The alcohol is just 12.5%, and the wine has some light sweetness, but what stands out best is the succulent mix of tropical fruits. Big and plush flavors of banana, papaya, guava and pineapple come through, yet the wine retains its balance and detail. ——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 92

From the oldest (1983 vintage) estate vines, this is finished off-dry, about 1.7% residual sugar. Off-dry or not, it’s succulent and spicy, mixing melon, apple and citrus with some sweeter notes hinting at honey. Good length and a crisp finish.——P.G.(8/1/2009)—— 91
