Taste: Brilliantly clear like a Kiwi Sauv. Blanc. Pretty nose of nectarine, melon, and floral notes. Like biting into a fresh white peach, juicy fruit balanced with crisp acidity. The sweet fruit lingers among tingling acidity and the finish is surprising long and sustained. The finish is all white peach and nectarine. After a while the nose opens up to broader floral and distinctive white peach notes. Deftly balanced sweetness and acidity.
Cameron Confidential: This is a wine we got from a grower coop in the Mosel and is considered "reserve" level and also has a single vineyard designation (which the Germans are nuts about - they have been doing SVD's for hundreds of years and it's why their labels are so difficult to read). We only were able to squeeze about 2,000 cases out of them - our first ever Riesling lot release.
