Red Newt Cellars Saw Mill Creek Reisling

2009 vintage has buttered quince upfront and plenty of acid and minerals - perfect for a warm evening on the porch after working hard in the garden. The mineral content lingers a bit too long on the palate, but that encourages another sip as the fruit is ripe and contains a bit of residual sugar. I'm thinking fish and chips with subtle use of Tabasco would be an excellent choice of food. The fried chickpeas at the Red Dove Tavern might also work well. BTW - changing the scorecard method - 87 (VERY GOOD)
