2007 Ventana Riesling
30 YEARS OF CONSECUTIVE GOLD MEDALS.
1/09 - San Francisco Chronicle Sweepstake Winner - Best White Wine!
Ventana's Riesling has a tart/sweet composition on the palate. The nose is explosive with apricot, orange peel and flowers. Green apple, honey, fig and apricot mingle on the palate. The residual sugar is offset with sufficient acidity to display a fine balance. This is not a typically sweet California style Riesling. We prefer an off-dry style that allows the fresh stone fruit components to be forefront but with acidity for a lively mouth-feel. Try Ventana Riesling with the spicy-hot flavors of Thai cuisine or Szechwan. This varietal is still one of the best choices with dried fruit and hard cheese.

Ross' choice
• Estate Grown Riesling, 2007, Ventana Vineyards
• Arroyo Seco, Monterey, Calif.
"A search for "Ventana" results in a long list of award-winning producers who have gained fame for crafting luscious wines from grapes purchased from Ventana Vineyards. This Riesling is Ventana's own, awakening the nose to stone fruit and floral complexity, exciting the palate with plush flavors balanced by brilliant acidity, and generally enlivening the soul. Serve this not-too-dry, not-too-sweet style with autumn's sugar-and-spice cuisine, such as baked squash, smoked meats, fish or poultry and turkey dinner with all the trimmings."
