Santa Barbara Winery, Sta. Rita Hills (Santa Barbara County, California) Dry Riesling 2016

Mar 13, 2019

By Rich Cook

 There are, thankfully, still small pockets of Riesling planted around California that become wines like this one.  Crisp, dry, apricot and zesty lemon surround a stony mineral core and finish very long with a burst of flavor.  Lovely wine.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
