Riesling 2012

#AgedWineTuesday

Deep gold in color.

Beautiful nose of diesel, lemons, yellow apples, spices, honeysuckle and minerals.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Off dry on the palate with apples, limes, light tropical fruits, minerals, light peaches and spices.

Long finish with lemons and light herbs.

This 13 year old Riesling from Yakima Valley is drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced, elegant and rich. Complex and entertaining.

Still feels fresh and lively, with enough fruits to balance the acidity. Fruit forward, interesting and delicious.

This gorgeous Riesling will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

At this point, less than 15 bottles are left at the winery cellars. Very cool to try these kind of wines.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.

13.3% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

Horse Heaven HIlls Malbec 2015

The color is a deeeeep blackish red. On the nose there’s aromas of plums, blackberries, lavender, mint, vanilla, and cocoa. There’s also my beloved burn from ethanol fumes. On the palate it’s medium bodied with a chalky mouthfeel, powdery tannin, and quite a bit of heat from the alcohol. There’s flavors of plums, cranberries, milk chocolate, and creamed coffee. It finishes with cranberries, creamed coffee, astringency from the tannin, and heat from the alcohol. — 9 years ago

Columbia Valley Red Blend 2013

Excellent blend. Good nose and structure. Full/medium body with ripe red and black fruit blend. Nice to drink alone but great with Pagliacci Pizza in Seattle. — 9 years ago

Horse Heaven Hills Chardonnay 2016

Soft notes of honey, lots of apricot, and lots of savory butter on the nose. Very sweet up front, almost ripe apricots, hints of banana, vanilla, ripe white ripe fruit. Savory and slightly dry in the back. Very good wine. — 7 years ago

Merlot 2015

The Mercer Malbec looks dark ruby in the glass. The nose offers some beautiful dark fruit - plums, blackberries and currant - and sticks a lovely dose of French oak in there. A nice, savory hint of black olives lurks in the background. The palate is just as enjoyable, with a fruity focus augmented by peppery spice and cinnamon. This is a wine that will be a hit at the holiday table, no doubt. It's a festive, fun red that can hold its own with the standing rib roast. — 9 years ago

Horse Heaven Hills Red Blend 2014

Mmmm, this Red Blend was not listed with Delectable. It's very smooth. A little peppery. Fruity tastes of blackberry and plum. Nice dark purple color. — 9 years ago

They say, and I have found it to be so, that chilled reds mute the flavors and aromas of the wine.

Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

This has dark berry and plum fruit, ripe and sweet. Tastes like it was freshly pressed. Acidity is moderate, and tannins and minerality are weak. Lighter in body than its deep color. So this is a juicy and simple wine. — 9 years ago
