2000 Year of the Dragon Late Harvest White Riesling Made from grapes
harvested on January 1, 2000, this nectar of the gods is our
entry in the "first enological baby of the millennium"
sweepstakes. For our fortitude in leaving these grapes on
the vine for the extra ten nerve-wracking weeks, Mother
Nature has rewarded us with this sinfully delicious miracle
of the calendar. The "noble rot" dehydrated the berries,
bringing about this wonderously intense concentration of
sweet apricot, pineapple and honeydew melon fruit, artfully
balanced by a framework of acidity and honeyed
botrytis. This wine can stand alone as dessert or
serve as a killer complement to melon, a dry fruit tart, or
Roquefort cheese.

"An outstanding wine, whose grapes were picked on 1/1/2000.
It is medium sweet, refined and intense in flavor, and very
long on the palate. Tastes of peach, fresh apple, pineapple,
and honey." -- Restaurant Wine
