2009 Late Harvest Riesling

2009 was an excellent, even-keeled vintage in Napa Valley. Consistently mild weather throughout the growing and harvest seasons resulted in stress-free vines, long grape hang times, and fruit with finely developed flavors at lower-than-normal sugar levels.

A flamboyantly perfumed and concentrated nose of ripe apricots, roses, lychee, orange blossom, tangerine and crème brulée leads to voluptuously sweet, yet fresh and lively, peach, apricot and pineapple flavors.

A dessert unto itself, this wine is divine with baked fruit desserts using peaches, apricots, or apples. For a lighter finish, enjoy with fruit and cheese.
