Description:
Our 2004 Dry Riesling is a blend of the Humphrey’s Adria Vineyard and Elk Cove’s Windhill vineyard. Both 30 year old sites produced Riesling of great complexity and unique character. The wine shows lifted aromas of white florals, fresh papaya, ripe citrus and mineral notes. Concentrated flavors of fresh peach, wet stones, and lemon sorbet are balanced by a fine backbone of ripe acidity. This 2004 release has all the excellent fruit weight and concentration characteristic of our Riesling.
