Half of this year’s Poet’s Leap Riesling is sourced from The Benches, one quarter from old-vine plantings at Dionysus, and the rest from Yakima’s Phil Church vineyard. Marvelous concentration and a panoply of lush orange, apricot, peach and papaya flavors carry this beautifully balanced wine through a long and satisfying finish. Delicious young, it could also be cellared for a decade or longer.

It’s actually slightly heavier and richer than that, the fleshy flavors suggesting a pairing with something spicy, like a plate of larb, a Thai salad of spiced meat.

It’s well done and while I would lean towards drinking bottles over the coming year or two, I was able to taste vintages going back through 2003, all of which were still in fine form. Drink now-2015. - Jeb Dunnuck  
Wine Spectator, October 2013
Fresh and silky, with vibrant peach and green plum flavors that dance through the light and lively off-dry finish. Drink now through 2015.

Peach, nutmeg, ginger, Thai basil and a hint of crushed stone on the nose. Dense, supple, juicy flavors of peach and ripe apple show an attractive touch of sweetness leavened by sound acidity.

Dense, supple, juicy flavors of peach and ripe apple show an attractive touch of sweetness leavened by sound acidity. Not the last word in complexity but subtle, refined and light on its feet, finishing with enticing lingering sweetness.
