August 20, 2016 - A surprise, a close out of 2012 Riesling, but from Santa Lucia Highlands? Yes, and it is pretty good. 12% alc but still slightly sweet. It has aged sweet Riesling notes of baking spices and apple, yet still enough acid and verve to make it yummy. The acid is soft though. The nose is young-ish and bordering on petrol. I'd guess this was a Mosel with years on it. It is not highly complex or long, but pretty darn good. Hmmm, Riesling from Monterey? I am impressed.
