2012 North by Northwest Riesling
-
Tasting Notes
-
Bright acidity with a balanced body is a hallmark of the 2012 Riesling. In this 2012 offering, you will find flavors of ripe apricot and lemon custard on the front palate, transitioning into hint of orange spice and green tea and finishing delightfully with a taste of citrus zest. Drink now through 2015.
