TASTING NOTES
The 2007 Riesling possesses a beautiful golden color with emerald highlights. The initial aromatics are redolent of slate, minerals, orange and lime blossoms, white fresh almonds, cardamom and tangerine. The wine opens to reveal more musky hints of honey, nectarines and white chocolate. In the mouth, the attack is focused and pure with flavors of wet stones, stone fruits and citrus. The long finish and final lingering notes are of almond skin and minerals. Bright, concentrated and focused, the 2007 Riesling will age gracefully for years. Lovers of fresh vivacious mineral and fruit driven wines should drink over the next couple of years. Those that prefer the petrol, wet stone character of aged Riesling should be advised to hold onto a bottle or two for at least 5 more years.
