Appearance:
With the glass tilted, the wine is transparent with a pale gold color that is uniform from core to rim.
Nose/Aromas:
Clean with a medium plus intensity of fruit aromas of dried peach and apricot.
Palate:
Off dry, light bodied with a medium minus intensity of fruit characteristics similar to the nose. There is no tannin and with medium mouthwatering acidity. The alcohol level (12.5%) seems well integrated into the wine because there is no apparent sensation of alcohol burn.
Finish:
Clean and medium plus in length. Although off dry on the palate there is the perception of residual sugar on the finish. (almost like a cotton candy sensation but absolutely not unpleasant)

Producers Notes:
Riesling grapes grown in Washington State's cooler Yakima Valley appellation produce a brisk, tangy and refreshing wine. Flavors and aromas of apricot, peach and tangerine along with the bracing acidity of the Mercer Estates Riesling reflect the unique character of Washington State Riesling. With little less than a percent and a half of residual sugar this Riesling is a bit dryer than many Rieslings and lends itself quite well to food pairings. (www.mercerwine.com)
