| | The Wine News Magazine - Taking Dry Riesling's Measure |
 | | By tradition, this fruit is fermented to complete dryness and the juice is usually permitted to remain in contact with the lees for an extended period to develop richness and power. |
 | | The 2001 Dry Riesling from Claiborne & Churchill ($15) is fairly representative with its golden hue and fresh, honeyed nose of ripe peaches, lemon grass, apple blossom and subtle notes of marzipan and jasmine. |
 | | Big-style, rich yet dry Rieslings exhibiting firm acidity, minerality, and in the best wines, a distinctive grand cru vineyard character, which, because of the huge variety of soils, makes for radically different aromas and flavors, including peach, citrus, tropical fruit, petrol, flowers, stones and earth, and sometimes a note of honeycomb. |
