Lunar Harvest 2015 Riesling, Columbia Valley, $8
Best Buy! The Precept Wine team in Walla Walla used Washington state’s historically hot vintage of 2015 to create this effort that carries the International Riesling Foundation’s Tasting Profile of “medium sweet” on the back of the bottle. Devotees of old world Riesling will appreciate the whiff of petrol swirling behind the fun scents of Circus Peanut candy, ripe peach and apple blossom. On the palate, it’s a bowl of fruit salad with round and weighty flavors of honeydew melon, Bartlett pear and white peach that build up to a finish of lemon Gatorade acidity to tackle the 2% residual sugar. Suggested pairings include Dungeness crab and spicy Asian fare, including a vegetable stir fry. The Lunar Harvest wines are available at select Walmart locations.
