“Cold Creek Vineyard has a long tradition of producing
a rich, soft tropical style of Riesling because of the area’s
warm temperatures. This 2006 Cold Creek Riesling offers
a fruit-driven, ripe peach character, while maintaining a
refined elegance.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker
Planted in the early 1970s, Cold Creek Vineyard is one of
Washington’s oldest and most acclaimed vineyards.
The vineyard is located 38 miles east of Yakima, Washington,
south of the Columbia River and Wahluke Slope.
Cold Creek Vineyard enjoys one of the longest and warmest
growing seasons in the Columbia Valley.
The site’s silty loam soil and the area’s low annual rainfall force
the vines to struggle, producing fruit with intense, concentrated
flavors and aromas.
