title: Villa Maria 2001 Cellar Selection Riesling (Marlborough)
description: A rich, full-bodied Riesling that's soft on the outside, but whose inner core of acids comes through on the powerful citrus-and-spice finish. Starts off with apple blossom, peach and guava aromatics that give way to ripe apple and pear flavors, layered with dried spices. Tastes good now but don't be afraid to age it—it should last easily through 2008.
variety: Riesling
designation: Cellar Selection
