Chateau Ste. Michelle
Columbia Valley Riesling
This wine has barely any color at all, just a very faint yellow-green tint. The nose is nice. There is a slight trace of petrol, which I always love to find in a Riesling. More dominant is a lanolin note which joins a light floral aroma. The palate straddles the fence between dry and sweet, offering up some tasty stone fruit and a savory side marked by gentle spices and a workable acidity. I would like a drier wine better, but I drank this quaff gladly and poured another.

Feb 24th, 2024Sweeter than the dry Riesling. Notes of green apple. Light bodied. I prefer the dry Riesling more.

Feb 15th, 2024Very sweet, but this is my first Riesling. Pale yellow color with apple aroma, taste of gooseberry and pear. I don’t think I could have this too much because of how sweet it is.
