Description:
A perennial Gold Medal winner--eleven previous vintages won Gold Medals at numerous major wine competitions--and last year's sold out in three months! This Estate Bottled White Riesling is made from heritage vines in the heart of the Napa Valley, a location perfectly suited for the development of the complex, aromatic, frfuity and well-balanced structure of this wine. On the nose, our White Riesling shows aromas of apricot, lime, and peach. This bright, luscious wine bursts in the mouth with a mingling of apricot, lime, meyer lemon, mango, papaya, peach, pineapple, and tangelo. With an extremely long finish, this well-structured White Riesling begs for the accompaniment of food--anything needing a slight hint of sweetness to offset spicy or succulent foods, including Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisines.
