Palate has sliced lime, grapefruit peel, lemon zest, green apple Jolly Rancher candy, dry-crushed slate, under-ripe peach, medium acidity, medium finish. Future bottles should be 2025+
Slightly more weight to the palate than the 2015 vintage tasted alongside.

Everything you could want from an entry-level dry Riesling, with brilliant citrus and bright minerality, light and racy but not austere.

Perfect match tonight with red sauce chicken curry. Not as complex and minerally as the '09 Argetsinger or even the '10, but still a delightful treat.
