“Best of Class & Judges' Choice - San Francisco Chronicle 2010 Wine Competition” San Francisco Chronicle - January 8, 2010
...Amid the various ups and downs, we encountered a lot of clean, fresh flavors and smart winemaking that shows just how solid a category American Riesling has become in the past few years. Our panel tastings at the paper have borne this out too. Our top wine, the 2008 Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling from Washington State, was all the more meaningful for being just $12...

Just off-dry, with pretty lime, green apple and floral aromas and flavors lingering delicately on the vibrant finish.

“Highly Recommended & Excellent Value” Northwest Palate - July 1, 2007
Highly Recommended, Excellent Value. "Abundant scents of dried summer grass, summer peach, and citrus zest are almost piercing in their strength. On the palate, flavors of ripe peach and red apple are juicy and even bold in ther intensity. Accents of clove, tangerine, and citrus zest in the background combine with an almost austere acidity to give an invigorating cast to the wine. Fresh and fruity, the spice-accented finish is long and penetrating. Pair with pan-fried razor clams."
“Excellent & Best Buy” Wine Press Northwest - June 1, 2007
For 15 years, this dry version was produced primarily for Northwest consumption. Now, it’s going national as consumers and restaurants have been heard. Bob Bertheau seemingly squeezed grapefruit into this "Trochen" style with pears and apples in the mix. A burst of lime acidity makes this quite a fun wine, and it also conjures up thoughts of paring it to a hot plate of Tex-Mex chicken with a fruit salsa.
