winemaker's notes:

White peach and fresh apricot aromas characteristic of Washington State Rieslings, melded with the mineral, floral notes and lively acidity associated with German Rieslings.

Eroica, named for Beethoven’s third symphony, is truly a concert of old world and new world riesling.

"Since the late 1990s, this bottling has ranked with the very best American Rieslings made, and so it does once again. Deep in peachy fruit, lightly floral in tone and underlain by wispy suggestions of minerals, this mannerly wine is at once both rich and restrained. It slight sweetness is that of juicy fruit rather than anything confected or sugary, and its rounded yet balanced style commends it equally to service with cracked crab or as a stand-alone refresher."
-Connoisseurs' Guide

Eroica Riesling is most likely the best Riesling made in the USA. It is incredibly well balanced and tremendous value. My favotite year is 2004. 2002 and 2003 and not close to 2004 and 2005. This wine gets better every year.
A Customer - Columbus, Ohio
It is alright with fish. I reccomend Starling Castle in general.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
