RIESLING

91 Canvasback 2019 Riesling (Columbia Valley). This wine still hasn’t fully settled in, showing reduction initially. Behind it are aromas of lime and wet slate. The palate brings mouthwatering, electric acidity to the supremely flavorful lemon-lime flavors. Decant if drinking in the immediate term. —S.S.

90 Januik 2018 Bacchus Vineyard Riesling (Columbia Valley). The aromas offer notes of flower, pear and lime leaf, initially seeming subdued but opening over time. The palate drinks bone dry, with the strong sense of acidity. —S.S.

abv: 12.5% Price: $20

89 Pacific Rim 2019 J Riesling (Columbia Valley). Exuberant aromas of orange rind, ginger and freshly peeled satsuma are followed by medium-sweet flavors and vibrant acidity. Rose petal notes linger on the finish. Best Buy. —S.S.

abv: 11.5% Price: $11

Bright aromas of tangerine peel, flower, dried rose petal and citrus are followed by sweet, full. —S.S.
