Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling 2015, Columbia Valley, Washington, United States: Wet stone after a spring rain plus lemon zest and lime refreshment. Love this zingy Washington state white wine made form classic Riesling grapes. Fantastic value. Pair with fresh Dover sole in melted butter. A crisp and refreshing Washington state white wine from the varietal they do best: Riesling. Lots of racy juiciness on the palate for food like shellfish. The Columbia Valley region is experiencing surging popularity among wine drinkers. Drink: 2017-2021. 685651 11.50% M 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 92/100. January 6, 2018 Best Value White Wine.
