2001 Late Harvest White Riesling

"Nectarine, apricot and peach, with honey, chamomile and lingering melon notes; good depth, long with decent acidity, rich." --San Francisco Chronicle

88 "Fresh, direct Riesling scents of linalool keep coming up off the plump and juicy fruit. Serve this peachy white with ricotta, honey and almonds for dessert." -- Wine and Spirits Magazine

Top pick of 2002 - "An Anderson Valley beauty! Apricot nectar, sweet perfection, dessert all by itself." -- Tom Simoneau, KSRO Radio
