Jul 26th, 2020Very well made Napa Riesling! Beautiful acidity and broken rock minerals. Green apple, pear, white peach, green papaya, white flowers and a touch of petrol.
Screaming for sushi or light (steamed, en papillote) fish dishes.

Apr 22nd, 2024Surprised by the quality and varietal signatures of this NAPA Riesling! Could easily confuse it for a good dry German Riesling. That oily petro white stone flowers and complexity carrying over to a good balanced palate and finish. Impressed.
