Robert Mondavi Private Selection Johannisberg Riesling 2005

Blend: 84% Riesling, 10% Muscat Canelli, 6% Malvasia Bianca

The 2005 Private Selection Johannisberg Riesling exudes the fresh apple, pear, orange blossom and litchi fruit aromas that makes Riesling grown in cool-climates so delightful. Monterey County's long, cool growing season produced grapes with especially concentrated flavors, giving the 2005 Riesling an impressive weight on the palate, despite its moderate alcohol content.

This richly flavored wine tastes great with a broad range of dishes, including smoked salmon, garlic shrimp, roast turkey, ham and pork, spicy sausages, and Pacific Rim cuisines. It's also delicious on its own or with fresh fruit and cheese.
