2010 was a year that tested our winemaker's patience. The ripening season was dominated by a mild spring and cool summer, resulting in harvest commencing three weeks later than normal. Luckily, the weather remained mild through September and October, ripening the grapes to maturity. The cooler weather conditions resulted in the grapes reaching optimum flavor ripeness to desired sugar levels. The milder temperatures allowed Riesling to develop concentrated fruit flavors along with mouthwatering acidity.

WS 87 Light and refreshing, with hints of grapefruit and apricot that compete for attention on the lightly sweet finish. Drink now through 2013.-HS, Wine Spectator, Score 87
