Score 93/100 · Drink 2000-2005, Robert Parker, Dec 2000

Dick Arrowood's 1999 White Riesling Hoot Owl Vineyard Special Select Late Harvest contains 8.4% alcohol and 25.6% residual sugar. Unctuously-textured, with vibrant acidity, and a decadently sweet trockenbeerenauslese style, it offers flavors of orange marmalade as well as honeyed tropical fruit. Fresh and lively, without being overbearing, it will be at its best during its first 4-5 years of life. Tel. (707) 938-5170; Fax (707) 938-5195

Pale gold color. Thoroughly botrytized aromas of apricot, honeysuckle, licorice and menthol, lifted by a note of white grapefruit. Very rich and thick, with the wine strong sweetness (25.6 grams/liter residual sugar) leavened by firm (9 g/l) acidity. With its superb fruit and concentrated acids, this rather powerful sweet wine should develop very slowly in bottle.
