Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Cold Creek Vineyard is known for producing a rich, soft style of Riesling because of the area's warm temperatures. This 2008 bottling offers aromas of ripe peach and grapefruit with a refined elegance and a refreshing finish. The wine's concentration is attributed to the older vines at Cold Creek. This Riesling would be a great match with a spicy Thai chicken salad.

Professional Ratings

91 Connoisseurs' Guide
From its first deeply fruity, almost unctuous sniff right through to its very long, impeccably balanced finish, this outstanding effort hits all the right varietal markers, and its richness comes with effortless grace. Its medium sweet character is tempered by a keen line of pert acid, and, as compelling and tasty as it is at the moment, it is, like the very best Rieslings, a wine capable of improvement with a bit of bottle age.
