2008 HOUSE White

Vintage Note: The 2008 harvest began in late September, perhaps the most delayed harvest since 1993.  Harvest wrapped up in the first part of November.  Overall the wines have great fruit flavor definition, medium bodied and complex.  The reds, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, always do well in the state and the 2008 vintage is no exception.  The white varietal stars, Chardonnay and Riesling, shine as well this vintage.

Tasting Note: Bright honeysuckle, peach and floral aromatics swirl in the glass.  Wonderful flavors of tangerine, pineapple and peach are layered on the palate.  This delicious, rich wine is crisp and clean on the finish.
