Riesling Kung Fu Girl

Former rock band manager Charles Smith is a winemaker and founder of a number of Washington-based brands. He planted his first vines in the Walla Walla Valley AVA in 1999 and released the subsequent 330 cases of Syrah in 2001 under the label K Vintners. Smith makes value-priced, single-variety wines under the Charles Smith label, which are known for their striking black and white labels and proprietary names. Production across the Charles Smith brands is up to 650,000 cases annually, making it one of the largest producers in Washington. While focused on accessibility and affordability, the wines are still critically acclaimed. Charles Smith was named Winemaker of the Year in 2009 by Food and Wine Magazine and in 2010 by Seattle Magazine.

White peach, mandarin orange and apricot are delivered with a core of minerality that makes this dry Riesling shimmer with energy and freshness.
