2004 Napa Valley Riesling
The grapes for this Napa Valley Johannisberg Riesling were harvested from a hillside vineyard located above the scenic Lake Hennessey. The whold clusters were delivered to the press by gravity and then gently pressed to tank. The must was slowly fermented in tank at 45F degrees retaining all of the delicate peach blossom and pineapple aromas from the fruit. Fermentation was stopped at 1.55% residual sugar lending to the rich flavors and lush and silky finish. Medium bodies, silky mouth feel with a meaty rich middle and sweet tropical flavors.
