Thirty Bench 2005 Bench Riesling

Date added;:10.Oct.2007
Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  Thirty Bench has become one of those wineries that has cut down their product line and have started specializing in certain grape varieties … like Riesling. On their current wine list they had 4 … 3 are vineyard specific and are produced small quantity, and then there is this one – which is a blend from all three vineyards and their entry-level value priced version at $18.00 (as opposed to the 28 and 32 dollar vineyard specific versions). This is a great place to start experiencing Thirty Bench’s brand of Riesling. A nose of lime and apple with the slightest hint of petrol … the minimalistic petrol follows through on the palate and so do those great citrus expressions … crisp, clean acidity makes this a wonderful sipper with or without food.
