Fletcher Family Vineyard Craggy Range 2006 Riesling

On our trips to New Zealand, my wife and I fell in love with Riesling and Pinot Gris wines we found there, but we could never seem to find them in Texas. Things are starting to change, and we are happy to see the wines from Craggy Range in Austin. These guys get great scores from Parker for their wines — particularly their Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc — but do not overlook the Riesling. The nose of this single-vineyard Riesling shows bushels of peaches and a little citrus. In the mouth, there is plenty of acid, but the wine is not too bright. This light bodied wine has a medium finish and great hot weather appeal. ($22-25)
