The 2001 Riesling Vintner's Reserve displays an enticing, moderately intense bouquet of Red Delicious apples and pineapples. This friendly, light, dry, crisp Riesling is made in a true German kabinett style. Approximately 90% of the fruit came from the cool climate Monterey viticultural region. It requires consumption over the next year.

Peachy clean, with a pleasing fruity quality that is mild and not overpowering. Bright enough to avoid any cloying sensation, with a touch of sweetness at the end. Great for aperitifs and seafood.

Readers looking for a good Spätlese-styled Riesling should check out the 1999 Johannisberg Riesling Vintner's Reserve from Monterey. It reveals excellent orange, citrus, and apple blossom characteristics, light to medium body, and a good, crisp finish with just a touch of residual sugar.
