The 2008 The Stump Jump Riesling offers floral, citrus, and melon aromas leading to a crisp, savory, ripe Riesling designed for immediate gratification. Drink it over the next 3 years.
The d’Arenberg portfolio is loaded with values. The winery works with over 140 growers to fashion their superb blends. For the 2008 vintage, the entry-level The Stump Jump series has been expanded. 87 points, Jay Miller for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #186 (DEC 2009) |
