Dry, ripe, rich. Very textural. Maybe some skin contact?

Great texture and peachy honey with a tang of green lime-like acid backing it up.

NFN, light pale yellow, Granny Smith apples on the nose. Nice dry Riesling with some more green fruits on the palate. Still pretty tight.

Riesling has a long tradition in the Napa Valley--settled by Germans way back when--e.g. Beringer, Krug, Schramsberg--this wine harkens back to the older ones I've been able to try--crisp, clean, apple/pear, refreshing, lots of acid

Remarkable. Even better than the 2012. A freak of nature, Riesling this good from Napa Valley. G
