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.
