The 2008 Dry Riesling offers up an attractive nose of mineral, spring flowers, citrus, and tropical aromas. Crisp and dry on the palate, it is clearly meant to be paired with food. Kiona Vineyards and Winery has been producing wine since 1980 (and growing grapes for considerably longer than that). It has long been a puzzle because its grapes are in great demand, but Kiona itself has had difficulty taking advantage of their superior farming. The winery interestingly has always done its best work with sweeter wines (Riesling and Chenin Blanc).www.kionawine.com
