Winemaker Notes
Smoky aromas lead into a palate that’s incredibly silky, salty and articulate; cherry blossom and scree in ultra hi-def; a delicate nip of chile-thread on the finish doesn’t obtrude on the cool breezy complexity.

Stunning fine nose with complex stone fruit and wild herb aromas. Wonderful elegance and stacks of wet stone minerality on the medium-bodied palate literally take your breath away. Long, filigree finish that’s a masterpiece of delicacy, picked during the first half of November. Drink or hold.

Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
