Wirz Vineyard Old Vine Riesling 2018

One of the oldest if not ‘the’ oldest dry farmed Riesling vineyard in the country. In 1964, about 45 acres of white Riesling were planted. The San Andreas Fault runs through the vineyard. Great yet unusual Riesling. Quite honeyed yet dry and with high acidity sitting at 12.5%. Petrol, oregano and touch of bitterness makes this one of the most unique Rieslings in the country (world?). Made by Ryan Stirm. If you want to surprise folks …. this is a good one. Year in year out good - yet again this is not your classic middle of the road Riesling! — 5 months ago

El Gabilan Cienega Valley Cabernet Pfeffer 2021

Light, smooth, and creamy, not much “pfeffer” (pepper) really. Like cherry whipped cream 😋 Ordered direct from Stirm, who apparently is a leading cabernet pfeffer winery, given how rare it is 🤔 — a year ago

See previous notes. Less convincing than the 2018 yet still good. Petrol and honey with plenty of acidity. Seems bigger. — 5 months ago

Neptunite Rosé Blend 2022

Slightly funky watermelon 🍉, herbal for sure, but then Jolly Ranchers, 🤔 Interesting blend! 82% Chardonnay, 9% Pinot Noir, 9% Riesling. Just enough Pinot to put this into rosé territory I guess lol — a year ago

Had this wine tonight. Had some pretty healthy acidity. The main characteristics I get are a flinty and pencil shaving note with some raspberry backbone. Good with food.
