Appellation: Columbia Valley

Exotic and beautiful as an island princess begins to describe this slightly off-dry drink (2.1% residual sugar). Pineapple, papaya, lemon, apricot, apple and vanilla bean form much of the aromas. She's not shy on the lips as delicious pineapple permeates the palate, backed by more orchard fruit, lychee and lemony acidity to balance that sweet disposition. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine.

Price: $12.

Cases produced: 2,284 cases. Look for this in wine shops or order directly from the winery.

Food matches: A perfect foil for spicy dishes such as Thai, Indian or Mexican.
