2010 Yakima Valley Riesling

The Basalt Cellars Late Harvest, a delightful Riesling from the enchanting Yakima Valley, showcases the remarkable characteristics of this renowned region. This white wine presents a lovely golden hue that glistens in the glass, inviting you to savor its enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit and delicate florals. With a medium body, the wine strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, offering a mouthwatering experience that refreshes the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring notes of luscious apricot and honeyed pear, while the overall profile is brilliantly complemented by its subtle, well-integrated acidity. Enjoyably delightful with its off-dry finish, this late harvest Riesling is a splendid choice for those who appreciate a rich and flavorful white wine that embodies the unique terroir of Yakima Valley.

Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
