Ancestry Cellars 2013 Reminiscence Riesling, Columbia Gorge, $18
Northwest Wine Academy grad Jason Morin continues to build consistency with his Riesling program, creating small and off-dry lots from Underwood Mountain Vineyard — one of Washington state’s top sites for cool-climate wines. Aromas of baked pear pie with cinnamon, brown sugar and rose petal funnel into a rather complex drink of Honeycrisp apple, Bartlett pear and more baking spices. Brightness to the acidity and flecks of minerality combine to balance the residual sugar (4.9%), leading to a finish of Jolly Rancher green apple candy. For the second straight year, this well-made Riesling earned a silver medal at the 2015 Seattle Wine and Food Experience Wine Competition.
