The Riesling Grant Taylor, wine maker, has learned much about the behavior of Riesling both in the vineyard and in the bottle. The 1998 vintage is the wine he is most satisfied with, balancing the high natural acidity with the abundant fruit flavors the harvest allowed. A simply fine Riesling. This Pinot Noir has nose of plums, cherries, red berries and spices. Fine tannins against a background of toasty French oak support the sweet rich concentrated fruit of the palate.
