Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Valley (Washington) Riesling 2010

($9):  Chateau Ste. Michelle continues its streak of making terrific, well-priced Riesling.  The 2010 has the classic Riesling nose of flowers and minerals that follows through onto the palate.  Limey acidity balances a delicate fruitiness and gives this dry Riesling a peppy signature.  It’s a good choice for an aperitif or to accompany spicy fare. 88 Michael Apstein Aug 9, 2011
