Chalk, flowers, sleek dry fruit, Green papaya, salt and just a touch of honey. Amazing.

I always celebrate my arrival in the state of California with a bottle of Riesling because that's what I drank when I got here. Year 3 was a good one.

Very dry and full. Chalky mineral base with savory tones. Corn husk, white pepper, waxy, plastic, hints of saline, lime and under ripe yellow fruit as an afterthought. Incredible length. Serious and complex wine.

Lime and jasmine, with a touch of bitterness. Has sharper corners than an Alsace Riesling.
