Straight 🔥⚡️ one of the better Rieslings I've had from CA. Energy, pure, textural, and satiating. Key lime, peach, crunchy rocks, leesy-like roundness, white flowers, white tea, aloe. Very well-made and very affordable.

17’ Benevolent Neglect.
Hands down one of the very best domestic Rieslings. Previous notes still apply. Can’t wait for the 18’s to arrive!

16’ Benevolent Neglect Riesling. 12.6% Alc. Medium bodied. Melon, ripe green apple, pear, LIMESTONE . Ever so slightly sweet!?!? Modest acidity. Nicely balanced. Very well made . 50 cases. I’ll have to try a few more of the BN Wines. 👏 Edit - This “could”sit down for a few years. No need..
