Very dry Riesling, true to D-G's general approach for their Riesling and Gewurzs. This bottle is certainly fine in 2022, but probably wouldn't hang on to it too much longer - suggesting a 2024 end-date.

@ Dutton-Goldfield Winery. These wines are located in the Marin County which is meant to be one of the harshest environments in California to grow grapes (then why grow grapes there? ). Riesling was straight clean however there was a petrol taste (if that makes sense), dry nose with a fruity taste. This was an ok Riesling however I have tasted better from California.

Nice California Riesling. Reminded me a bit of the Nahe with lots of lime and peaches. There is nice minerality on the front palate but then the energy is blown away and there is a bit of a hollow and flat finish. With the low acidity I can't see this having much ageing potential, but very nice with a crab salad.

Dry and crisp. Floral on the nose with a citrus/peach flavor. Satisfying.

Clear pale straw. Low acids, no tannins. Pineapple. Short balanced finish. Riesling tasting at Cartograph
