Sourced from nearby vineyards off Foxen Canyon Road, this Riesling shows apple, pear, grapefruit and a touch of lychee on the nose and in the mouth, with crisp acidity, a plush feel and an apple focused finish that lingers nicely. Don’t serve this too cold — you’ll miss some of the nuance that makes for this unique expression.
