The 2009 Riesling is light straw-colored with a pleasant nose of spring flowers, citrus, and baking spices. Dry and crisp on the palate with ample fruit, it is a good summer sipping wine at a very fair price. Tel. (509) 627-0266; www.barnardgriffin.com

Spice, apple, light peach and a gentle fruitiness characterize this Riesling. There are deeper notes as well, skin phenolics that add texture and earthiness. But fruit is front and center, with crisp acidity right behind it.——P.G.(2/1/2011)—— 88

Mostly old vine (mid-1970s) Riesling, this has 11.7% alcohol and about 1% residual sugar. This is a gorgeous bottle, with floral fragrances that pile on acacia, rose petals and citrus blossom, and then moves into a luscious midpalate loaded with apples, peaches and citrus. The wine is seamless and well defined, with a perfect mix of fruit-forward flavors and the cut and precision of an ageworthy, German-style Kabinett.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 90
