Though it’s not indicated on the label, this Riesling is sourced from a single vineyard. The Erratic Oaks vineyard site is well suited to Riesling as evidenced here, where Key lime, Meyer lemon and nectarine aromas and flavors abound and cool climate acidity balance the just off-dry picking choice beautifully. Spice and stony mineral notes join the fruit in the lip-smacking finish. Yes, I’ll continue to bang the drum for Riesling when it’s this good at this kind of value price. Stay tuned!
