Wine Review: This very pale white gold colored Riesling opens with a mild pineapple and wet slate bouquet with hints of ginger. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, very nicely balanced, delicate and round. The flavor profile is a delicious stony mineral and pineapple blend with notes of green apple and Anjou pear. We also detected hints of lime, pink grapefruit and peach. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. The Panel would pair this very good “Reserve Dry” Riesling with baked Dover sole, crab cakes or ceviche. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The finest qualities of the estate are expressed in our "Reserve Dry" Riesling, an exclusive wine spotlighting unique characteristics from all three of our vineyard sites. A brilliant, tangy nose heralds a burst of stone fruit and citrus zest on the palate. Fruit and minerality play into a lingering finish that continues to make the mouth water long after the wine is gone.
