Latah Creek Riesling 1998

This is a great Riesling! The cool fall resulted in grapes with relatively high acid levels. Because of this, I left the residual sweetness of the finished wine at about 2.5%. The balance is wonderful and the fruit flavors are incredible. A slow, cold fermentation allowed the wine to retain its flowery, fragrant aromas and just a hint of "spritz". The crisp acidity perfectly balances out its deep, distinctly varietal flavors.
