2014 Estates Reserve Riesling
93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
"Finished off dry, this masks its residual sugar with ample acidity. Some portion of the Winery's numerous individual Riesling lots is barrel fermented, and here there are unmistakable highlights of caramel. On the palate it's smooth and rich, with wide-open flavors of peach and pear." - Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast
Tasting Notes
Richly scented with aromas of lemon oil, butterscotch, and exotic spice. Round flavors of sweet honeycrisp apple, pear, and juicy peach are balanced by bright meyer lemon and candied ginger. Beautiful acidity rounds out the refreshing sweetness, lingering on the long, smooth finish. This reserve bottling has the elements to last the ages.
