<p><b>Flavor Profile</b> <br />“14 Hands Riesling features aromas of apple blossom and tangerine with a hint of wet stone. Flavors of fresh peaches and Granny Smith apples fill the mouth with racy acidity and a juicy finish. is would be a great pairing for spicy Asian dishes, or before dinner as a cocktail.”-Keith Kenison, <i>Winemaker</i> </p>
<p><b>The Vintage</b> <br />The beginning of the 2007 growing season was warm, with average temperatures throughout the rest of the season. Limited rainfall from the start of the season led to smaller canopy growth and early fruit exposure. Sugar and maturity developed quickly in warmer sites, with the first grapes being harvested at the end of August. Cooler than normal temperatures toward the end of September allowed for a slowing of sugar accumulation in cooler sites and promoted flavor progression.</p>
<p><b>Winemaking</b> <br />The blend was anchored with fruit sourced from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA and rounded out with grapes from the Wahluke Slope, Yakima Valley and Rattle Snake Hills. Whole clusters were fed into membrane presses, where the juice was separated from stems and seeds. After pressing, the juice cold settled for 1-2 days. Th e juice was inoculated with yeasts to initiate the 20-30 day fermentations. Cool temperatures throughout the winemaking process accentuated the naturally clean, fruity character and crisp acidity.</p>
