Feb 7th, 2020Light golden in color, excellent clarity. Diesel and pine notes in nose. Crisp, almost dry, citric finish, good Riesling flavor profile with stone fruit, mandarin notes as mentioned on label. Moderate skin astringency with slight lactic character in finish. After an hour, some lime flavor emerges. Last vintage as these vines are being budded over to other varieties. Pity that; we need to be buying and drinking more American Rieslings, people!

Floral note in nose. Floral, varietal “pine”, lemon and grapefruit flavors, crisp, semi-dry. Some spice and slight skin astringency and varietal bitterness in finish. On point varietally. Better as a sipper...
