Alexandria Nicole 2008 Late Harvest Riesling (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Late Harvest
Variety: Riesling Washington
Winery: Alexandria Nicole / Horse Heaven Hills

Though the term late harvest would suggest a sweet, dessert wine, this is more on the off-dry side of Riesling, with juicy acids that cut the impression of sugar. Fragrant with scents and flavors of apricots, apple pie, honey and biscuit, it is expressive, nicely balanced and loaded with flavor.
