Special Select Late Harvest

2013 Alexander Valley Riesling

Simi Special Select Late Harvest is a delightful white wine that beautifully embodies the lush flavors characteristic of Riesling. Crafted from the exceptional 2013 vintage in the renowned Alexander Valley, this wine offers a full-bodied experience that is both rich and satisfying. The acidity is pronounced, providing a vibrant counterpoint to the sweet notes of ripe stone fruit and honeyed citrus. The fruit intensity is notably high, showcasing layers of complexity that dance on the palate, while the wine remains effortlessly refreshing. With an off-dry profile, Simi Special Select Late Harvest is perfect for those who appreciate a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity, making it an ideal choice for sipping on its own or pairing with fruit-based desserts.

Region:


Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
