Treleaven 2011 EIS Late Harvest Riesling (Cayuga Lake)

Country: US / EIS Late Harvest
Variety: Riesling New York
Winery: Treleaven / Cayuga Lake

Notes of dried fig, citrus rind and tangerines are spiked with whiffs of potpourri and spice on this richly textured, unctuously sweet iced wine made from late-harvest grapes frozen after harvest. Creamy and lush on the finish, it’s brightened by a shower of orange acidity and just a hint of black-tea astringency.
