Wine Review: This very pale yellow colored Riesling opens with a fragrant honeydew melon bouquet with a hint of wet stone. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, semi-sweet and flavorful. The flavor profile is a very tasty lime and green melon blend with hints of integrated minerality. The finish remains semi-sweet and its flavors linger. This wine was perfect with my smoked bacon clam chowder at Wine Week. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This 2010 vintage exudes fragrant aromas of mandarin peel and white peach with underlying mineral notes and vibrant acidity on the palate. It reflects the Eroica style that has been developed over more than a decade.
