Really interesting California Riesling with Loire-Esque texture and minerality. Tons of juicy ripe tropical fruit, like a canned pineapple cocktail. Pretty outrageous wooly texture and limestone salinity and minerality. It’s sorta lacking acidity to fully bind it together and counter the sickly sweet tropical fruit, but it’s definitely a fun wine made from great old-vine fruit.

Dry and low alcohol without feeling at all lean or enamel-stripping. Great varietal character with a salty, savory finish. Awesome juice!

Bone dry, crisp and full flavored. Reminiscent of a dry Alsatian.

A very smooth Riesling. A bit buttery. Good but not wow.
