Navarro Vineyards, Anderson Valley (Mendocino County, California) Riesling 2018

 In tasting this mellifluous Riesling, sweet and tart elements waltz across the palate in perfect harmony.  The wine’s natural sweetness is shot through with pinpoints of lovely acidity — it’s the sensory equivalent, perhaps, of stars twinkling in a midnight sky.  As with all exceptionally good Rieslings, this sweet wine pairs beautifully with savory as well as sweet dishes.  I enjoyed it recently as an accompaniment to pork chops with a mustard cream sauce.  Sold in a 375 ml bottle.
