2010 Fruity Riesling

The Estate designation is from Elk Cove's oldest block of Riesling planted on the gentle slopes of the winery property. This wine highlights the quality that old vine material can show from this noble grape in the Northern Willamette Valley. It shows a traditional bouquet of pear and apple overtones, with lean, mineral notes on the palate. A pretty wine ...

A brisk Riesling with lean flint and citrus flavors. Light floral and tangerine scents and a touch of sweetness balance the mineral acidity.

Medium bodied and just a little sweet, this wine has pineapple and peach on its rich palate. It has a lively acidity and shows best with foods that mimic it's palate; opt for a sweet-and-spicy Asian dish, slow-simmered stews or hot Szechuan classics.

This Riesling is a bright gold color. On the nose it is fresh and pleasantly fruity. In the mouth there are flavors of lemon and peach against a mineral backdrop. Well-matched with salads, seafood and light veal dishes.
