james suckling hq logo plain"Peaches, white flowers, lemon curd and some toasty, musky notes on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with sharp acidity and a creamy, peachy palate. Bright and delicious. Dry. Drink or hold."

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Juicy green apple, lychee, and tart pineapple notes all emerge from the 2020 Riesling Poet's Leap, a medium-bodied, lively, balanced, impressively textured off-dry Riesling that can be drunk any time over the coming decade or more. It's surprising how well this wine can age, and it's certainly up with the top examples of the variety in Washington State."

2020 Long Shadows Poet's Leap Riesling - 93 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2020 Riesling Poet's Leap is another sensational effort that is truly one of the great wines of its kind made in Washington. At 1.1 g/L, it shows petrol and wet stones mingling with Japanese pear and gooseberry tones on the nose. The palate is fresh and beautifully textured with outstanding length. Orange blossom water, Sprite and sweetened cantaloupe flavors mingles with crushed wet rock tones. The verve, weight and length of the wine are outstanding. - Owen Bargreen"

wine enthusiast 93 pts"This shows intense detail and complexity in the aromas of lime zest, wet slate, white peach, flower and a whiff of botrytis. The palate is just a hair off-dry, balanced by electric acidity. It's a textbook picture of Washington Riesling at its best. - SEAN P. SULLIVAN"

wine enthusiast 94 pts"How do I love thee? Let me sip the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height of your aromas and flavors of spicy baked pear, passion fruit, chilled Golden Delicious apple slices and ginger. Your acidity adds a glow to my palate, after which a trace of petrol drives me home. - Michael Alberty"
