This young Renton, Wash., winery reached into historic Airfield Ranches near Prosser for the inaugural vintage of Riesling named for a Scandinavian term for grandmother. Aromas of gooseberry, lemon zest and petrol lead to fun flavors of peach, pear and Golden Delicious apple.

Just one from Oregon? Over 40 of us recently conducted a technical tasting of pre-bottled 2014 Oregon Rieslings with exciting results. SmackDown?

Greetings Sheila,
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Actually, there are three 2013 Rieslings from Oregon in that slideshow — South Stage Cellars, Willamette Valley Vineyards and Mt. Hood Winery. We’re looking forward to seeing the Rieslings coming out of Oregon from the 2014 vintage.
