Morgan Winery, Santa Lucia Highlands (Monterey County, California) Riesling 2021

 Here is a technically off-dry Riesling that presents as though it were quite dry thanks to racy acidity.  Riesling used to be big on the Central Coast of California, and when you taste this, you will wonder why you don’t see more wineries getting into the act.  It is an apple, citrus and tropical fruit mix that will have you reaching for more.  True confession:  While making Aperol spritz cocktails for party guests on a hot summer afternoon, I was secretly sipping this.  Appreciate the low alcohol!
