Winemaker's Reserve

2009 California Riesling

The Wilson Creek Winemaker's Reserve is a delightful Riesling from California's sun-kissed vineyards, showcasing a beautiful pale straw color that glistens in the glass. With its medium body, this wine offers a refreshing and vibrant profile, making it an excellent choice for warm weather sipping. The acidity is bright and lively, perfectly balancing the intense fruit flavors of ripe peach, juicy apricot, and hints of zesty citrus. This Riesling is considered dry, with a clean finish that invites you back for another sip. The overall experience is both approachable and sophisticated, making this vintage a wonderful companion to a variety of dishes, from spicy Asian cuisines to creamy seafood pastas.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
