Best Buy! The Williamson family was a strong supporter of Ste. Michelle’s Riesling Rendezvous, and their time surrounded by many of the world’s top Riesling producers prompted the family to take their program into a drier style. That has led James and Sydney Nederend of Koenig Vineyards to do the same, and it resulted in one of the best Rieslings of this year’s Platinum. Aromas of orange marmalade, tangerine zest, timothy hay and daffodil lead to full flavors of cantaloupe, baked apple, ginger honey and lingering orange zest.
