2011 Potter Valley Riesling
- Tasting Notes
- Pale gold in color, this Riesling opens with
floral aromas of honeysuckle and candied orange, layered with pear,
spicy honey, and rich Charentais melon. The palate
shows a nice smooth entry; full and round, but not heavy, with good
crisp acidity. Flavors of lemon zest and tart mandarins lead
the way and are followed by light stone fruits, honey, and poached
pear - all rounded off with a warm, subtle, spicy
finish. As with all of Montelena's offerings, this is a
food wine, and should pair quite nicely with seared scallops (among
other things).
