J Bookwalter 2023 Readers Riesling 92 pts

The J. Bookwalter 'Readers' Riesling 2023 from Columbia Valley is a standout white—crisp, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. It pours a pale straw with green flecks, offering a nose of lime, green apple, peach, and honeysuckle, edged with wet-stone minerality. On the palate, it’s zesty yet silky, with tart citrus and ripe fruit lifted by bright acidity and a touch of off-dry sweetness. The finish is clean and lingering, with hints of slate and lemon zest. A steal at $25, it’s perfect for spicy dishes, seafood, or solo sipping. Drink now through 2027.
