Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Eisrébe Napa Valley Scheurebe
Not an ice wine in its true sense as the grapes were not harvested frozen on the vines.
It lacks the nutty and molasses notes I often associate with ice wine, in particular from Canada, and certainly not as rich. Still very enjoyable with lovely tropical fruits and floral notes. Viscous yet refreshing.
100% Scheurebe, which is a crossing of Riesling and Bukettraube, and was created by German viticulturalist Georg Scheu - hence the name Scheurebe (Scheu Vine).

My favorite California dessert wine. Wonderful fruit but with enough acid so it's not over powering. Always great!!
