Potter Valley Riesling, Chateau Montelena
Description
Ripe and tropical, the aromatics simply pop, sashaying from lychee to pear, and peach to melon. As the wine warms in the glass, star jasmine is revealed and the wine leans toward decidedly more floral and perfume elements, without relinquishing that beautiful varietal character. On the one hand lush but also lively, pineapple, apricot, and honeycomb belie the razor-sharp acidity that cuts through mid-sip. Th e honeycomb in particular transitions to a sultry marzipan like nuttiness that adds richness to an already flashy palate. Here the ginger emerges along with lychee once again as the wine’s density is clearly evident. Citrus appears as well in the form of fresh lemon peel as the acid slowly begins to fade with one more hint of tropical passionfruit.

With the freedom to explore, they believe they have the privilege to learn. And by asking themselves why, they can better understand the path to how. With a 14-decade legacy comes the responsibility for further growth and Chateau Montelena refuse to rest on their laurels.
