Airfield Estates 2011 RieslingBest Buy! Wine Press Northwest’s 2010 Washington Winery to Watch and winemaker Marcus Miller aren’t slowing down. He built this with a complex nose that hints at fruit cocktail with banana, peach and sliced apple, backed by talcum powder and a whiff of petrol. That nose does not mislead, yielding fruit cocktail flavors, joined by mango. And while there is some residual sugar (2.4%), its delicious lime acidity and pleasing minerality make for a complex drink and take it to another level.
