Heron Hill 2006 Ingle Vineyard Riesling

I sampled six of Heron Hill’s 20 some wines and I will start with one of my favorites — their 2006 Ingle Vinyard Riesling ($15.99). This structured single-vineyard Riesling has a concentrated, rich flavor that could give any one of the great Riesling wines of Germany a run for their money! The fruit forward wine with its distinctive melon character has Riesling’s classic mineral and citrus character. It’s clean and crisp and has a long mineral finish. Heron Hill recommends the wine be paired with light meals, cheese, sausage and apples, onion tart, fish, and seafood.
