Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Riesling opens with a fragrant ripe pear bouquet with a hint of Clementine. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, quite sweet, and viscous. It displays juicy ripe pineapple and fruit cocktail like flavors with a hint of mandarin orange. The finish is quite sweet and lingers. The group thought this wine would pair well with spicy Thai food. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Loaded with pear, peach, citrus and apricot flavors. An ideal dinner Riesling and also can be enjoyed with riper, aged cheeses and spicy cuisine due to its enhanced complexity.
