2024 Riesling Columbia Valley

Riesling grows exceptionally well in the Columbia Valley, where warm summer days and cool summer nights ripen the grape fully while still maintaining ample acidity. The foundational component of our 2024 version hails from the oldest vines on Red Mountain at Kiona Estate, planted in 1975. For fifty years we’ve counted on this fan-trained 3.5-acre planting to deliver compelling almost-dry Rieslings.

Washington State Riesling has its own trademark style; it’s ripe and indulgent with appealing acid balance and great food-pairability. We pick our Kiona Estate block fairly early in the season, producing a fantastic Riesling on the dry end of the spectrum, then blend in late harvest components from Olsen. This allows us to capture and layer aromas/flavors that emerge at different times in the ripening process; melon and floral, spice and citrus. It’s a delicious off-dry blend that showcases the region.
