"Kevin Kelley made this wine from 29-year-old vines planted to the old Wente clone at 1,600 feet. It's stainless steel fermented without added yeast, then aged on the lees for six months before bottling. At 12.6 percent alcohol, this balances rich, spiced apple flavors with an underlying briskness. It's focused without needing oak, lasting on a fresh scent of chamomile and peach, long, sleek and delicious. Great with roast sea bass." Wine & Spirits Magazine, Oct 2011 |
