The 2006 Dry Riesling has an attractive floral, honeysuckle perfume. Barely off dry, with good acidity, this tasty Riesling would make a refreshing summer aperitif. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Apex Cellars began operations in 1988. The veteran winemaker is Brian Carter who recently began his own namesake winery in Woodinville.Tel. (509) 839-9463; www.apexcellars.com

This is 100% Riesling, and the intense, floral aromas suggest a smattering of Gewurztraminer, at least in essence if not in fact. Beeswax, lemon candy, orange blossom and other juicy citrus components swirl around the palate, making this an exceptionally complex and beguiling wine. Though labeled dry, it carries an impression of fruit sweetness, rather than the bracing minerality of some other dry Rieslings. A wine that is almost Germanic in its attack, and a truly lovely bottle.——P.G.(12/1/2007)—— 91
