2016 OJAI VINEYARDS KICK ON RANCH SANTA BARBRA COUNTY RIESLING DESERT WINE- I yield to the review of this wine by my friend, winemaker Adam Tolmach, who states “ice wine grapes are picked, driven to a commercial freezer, and then brought to the winery a few days later for pressing. By pressing grapes while still frozen, ice crystals are left behind, and only concentrated grape juice is recovered. The juice is drained into older barrels for fermentation and aging and then bottled into half bottles in the spring. Orchard fruit, sweet floral notes and mint add brightness and aromatic lift. The 250 grams of residual sugar are not especially evident.”
