Mokelumne River Kerner
Sonoma County, California, USA
2014 vintage. Little bit of leesy creaminess and texture. Yellow apple, unripe pear, pineapple skin, straw, dried white flowers. Best Lodi Kerner I've ever had ;)

May 12th, 2018First time with Kerner and I've read this is one of the few plantings in the US. A bit different than I anticipated. I liked this but got a sense it was in a bit of an awkward phase and may benefit for just bit more time. To me, the minerality and grass notes reminded me of Gruner, but the nose and some flavor elements reminded more of dry white Alsace varietals. Different and interesting, I would like to try a German or Italian version.

The only kerner planted on Cali. Delicious, aromatic and textured. Ramey proving that he can play with weirder stuff.

Very interesting and enjoyable. Smells like a Riesling but tastes so different. Great acid and fruit. Love it now and I would imagine it will be better in several years.

Aug 2nd, 2015Pure Riesling in the nose. Bone dry. Patio wine. Versatile. Drop the price $10 and you've got a real winner
