Wine Tasting:
2004 Chateau Grand Traverse Johannisberg Late Harvest Riesling

Brand/Type: Johannisberg Riesling
Vintage: 2004
Country: USA
Region: Grand Traverse Peninsula, Michigan
Alcohol content: 10.5%
Closure: Natural Cork
Appearance: Light blonde

Off dry, lightly sweet, somewhere between a Kabinett and a Spatlese. Very nice fruitiness with a tart finish. A nice mineral edge.

Another excellent Michigan Riesling. Similar to many German offerings but with a higher alcohol content but not in a bad way; just a bit bolder than the traditional German Riesling.
