Our 2011 Riesling is a little more Germanic in character than usual. A cool summer and early rain in 2011 have given us a more rounded wine, pale straw in color, with appealing aromas and flavors of dried fruit, honey, and apricots. There's also a spicy note of cloves which piqued our interest. This Riesling is a touch earthier with a slightly heavier body than other vintages. It is not sweet, with less than one percent residual sugar, and will definitely develop into a rich wine in a couple of years.
