Just wasn’t loving it. Esp. st $70. Been open 4 hours and still tight and lacking berry flavors for me. Maybe needs grill; pizza and chocolate didn’t help.

In agreement with other reviewers, this isn't drinking as smoothly as the Ridge 2014 and 2015 Petite (which I LOVED!!). This vintage shows good potential, great structure, but is very tight on the first night. We let it open for 2 hours, and it's still tight, with not much fruit. Will leave some for tomorrow to see what evolves, but will definitely leave my 2nd club order bottle to age for a few more years.

I received this 2019 vintage as part of a Wine.com Riesling tasting kit. Couldn't even relegate this wine to a spritzer, it went down the drain (which is rare in my house for a white!). Very dry with no redeeming qualities. Doesn't even taste like a traditional riesling, more like Pinot Grigio.
