Still the domestic Riesling naysayers won’t come around — but they might be coaxed by this floral off dry example. Zippy acidity carries apricot and spice on the palate, and the finish burst is full of everything promised. Beautifully nuanced wine. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
