Brooks Winery Ara Riesling 09

New vintage of the famous wine poured at the White House!

Rich complex nose of slate, lime, green apple, fresh cut hay, apple, quince, white flowers and minerals. Fresh tarragon, clove, cinnamon, white currents and beeswax notes offer more complexity and depth to the nose after the wine opens. Concentrated and intense, the mid-palate has flavors of wet stones, apricots and peaches, while the finish is exciting, lingering and full. - the winery
