2017 Bedrock Riesling from Cienega Valley AVA. Planted in 1963 and dry-farmed. Apparently it’s the second oldest riesling vineyard in California. “Own-rooted in decomposed granite and limestone lovingly tended by the magnificently mustached Pat Wirz,” according to Morgan Twain-Peterson MW. Loaded with flavor. Lime oil and granny smiths with a hint of honey, and lots of rocks. A steal at $25.

Beeswax, baked apples, white flowers. Golden color. Barest hint of diesel. Broad mouthfeel. Touch of Botrytis?

Excellent acidity. Minerality and a touch of citrus. Impressive effort.

Clean, simple, and delicious. Nice fruit. Medium- acid; wish there was a touch more. Paired well to Thanksgiving.
