Snoqualmie 2008 Naked Riesling is from Horse Heaven Hills in the Columbia Valley, Washington. This is 100% organically grown Riesling grapes. I must admit I did not get any of the aromas or flavors described in the winemaker's notes (below). I found the aroma more tropical (banana and lychee) and the flavor ... I just could not put my finger on it. It was almost like a Muscate. This wine was interesting. Good. But, interesting. I'm going to have to taste the latest vintage (2010) to see how they compare. Winemaker's Notes: Organically farmed and produced, this Riesling offers bright aromas of spicy pear and apple, with a hint of mineral carried through on the palate. The off-dry finish is clean and soft and the pure elegance of the varietal is fully captured in this bottling. A perfect aperitif or wine pairing with assorted cheeses.
