Winery Review: The 2016 Governors White is a semi dry Riesling with a lot of bright fruit and multiple layers. On the nose there are the tropical fruits such as pineapple, passion fruit, star fruit followed by blueberry, strawberry, plum and a touch of lemon that adds a pleasant brightness to the wine. Amid the fruit layers is a very soft honey and vanilla that plays nicely with the classic Riesling nuances. The residual sugar and alcohol are well balanced within the wines overall structure making for a very approachable wine with smooth sweetness and fruit. This wine is very easy and fun to drink and will pair with many light dishes or spicy foods; or simply with a burger by the pool.

My Review: Stone fruit, honeysuckle and passion fruit make up the nose of this wine with a little minerality on the back. The taste is quite fruity with stone fruit, peach, and apricot mixed with honey. It is slightly sweet but not too much with a long finish. Delicious!
