Our new 2014 Toru. might be slightly biased but I think it is one of the best we have made.
Cofermentation = great integration

Great aromatics on the nose. The three varietals were well blended and well balanced, very enjoyable

Loved this 2014 Toru! A beautifully integrated blend of Gewurtztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris that were co/fermented. An off dry style with great complexity on the palate- just delicious!
