Wine Background
One of the great and most distinctive vineyards of
Washington State, Evergreen Vineyard is situated
high above the Missoula Flood Plains and only grows
white grape varietals. Wonderful acidity and pure fruit
characterize its grapes. The site is very cool; the caliche and
basalt in these ancient soils produce some of the best and
most unique wines in the state, if not the world.

Notes
his Riesling has an unbelievable sense of balance, opening
up with white peach, honeysuckle and a beautiful lift from
deeper mineral/slate notes. It passes across the palate with
wonderful acidity and texture, finishing with a lovely attack
of granny smith apple, mandarin orange, and persimmon. If
you like Thai food, then this wine is for you!
