Frost Bitten 2013 Ice Riesling, Yakima Valley, Washington (Ingrid)

This is a deliciously sweet dessert wine from the heart of Columbia Valley- and affordable! Rated 90pts Wine Enthusiast with a “Best Buy” nod, “Made cryogenically, this sweet late harvest-style wine-which clocks in at 165g/L residual sugar-delivers a lot of decadent flavor. Honey and tea-unctuous and peachy-coat the tongue while remaining on the right side of cloying. Streaks of vanilla and butter cookie come into play as well.”
