This is a wonderful old world style Riesling. Says winemaker Dan Goldfield "Our hedonistic goal in crafting this wine is to maintain the tremendous brightness, focus and freshness that our favorite Rieslings of the world express."
This is input into CT incorrectly its a Marin County, not Russian River vineyard. And the second wine this year that has made my ponder, other than real estate costs, why we don't see more fruit from Marin.
To The Eye: Bright light, clear, yellow straw
On The Nose: the essence of Riesling aromatics: citrus peel, lemon, hint of honeysuckle, but with out that annoying overly floral aspect CA Riesling can sometime have.
In The Mouth: The is a fun, mouthwatering wine. Both brightness and texture await when tasted: One gets the citrus immediately on the front palate, then picks up some texture and viscosity in the mid palate. Stone fruits, white peach, lemon notes, all dance across the tongue. The finish is refreshing and mouthwatering, lingering on the tongue slowly, enticing you
This is a keeper, and perhaps a one time offering from D-G, so grab whats left at the tasting room.
Pair it with some shellfish, or quaff it down solo.

| Dutton-Goldfield Producer websiteRiesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson |
