APPELLATION AMERICA AWARDS BEST OF APPELLATION DOUBLE GOLD TO ST. REGULUS: Wine: Riesling Vintage: 2008 Appellation: Snake River Valley Grape: Riesling Evaluation Notes: Light pink due to skin contact during fermentation. Rich aromas of strawberry, rose, chervil, peach, guava, and mango. Apple-y phenols on the palate due to skin contact. Off-dry, driving a nice line of weedy strawberry flavors to a flinty finish and very nice acidity. A fascinating and versatile food wine.
WINE PRESS NORTHWEST REVIEWS ST. REGULUS RIESLING AS OUTSTANDING WHITE: Outstanding! There's a new winery in the tiny town of Weiser, Idaho, and Dave Rule gained quick attention with this release. Lively is the nose of apples, pear, honeydew melon, lime, fresh-cut asparagus and minerality. It's delicious, luscious, refreshing and bright between the lips with apples and pears. There's good balance and a touch of sweetness as an underlying tone of river rock adds varietal complexity.
