Wine Review: This white gold colored Riesling opens with a honey, ginger, and ripe pear bouquet with hints of baked pineapple, spice, and apricot. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, slightly acidic, sweet, viscous, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is delicious ginger and crushed stone minerality blend with notes ripe Bosc pear, apricot and lemon tea. The finish is pleasantly sweet, and its flavors were nicely extended. The Panel would drink this gem on its own. With food we would pair this Spätlese level Riesling crab cocktail. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A fine and fruity, late-picked Riesling that beautifully captures the essential slate character of the top-rated "Abbot's Hill" vineyard.
