  • 2006 RiverAerie Riesling 86 Points

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    Slightly sweet, with nice flavors of melon and citrus. Perhaps a touch of pineapple in there too...

  • 2006 RiverAerie Viognier 84 Points

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    Smooth, but lacking in flavor, compared to the Riesling. Apples, pears, maybe a touch of honeydew.

  • 2006 RiverAerie Malbec 85 Points

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    A touch on the bitter side. Great, bright fruit, spicy, but the bitter finish kills the enjoyment, and has me wishing I had some food to go with this wine.

  • 2005 RiverAerie Barbera 87 Points

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    Wine of the tasting. Sweet fruit, strawberry, cherry and a bit of earthiness that is pleasant.
