  NFN, light pale yellow, Granny Smith apples on the nose. Nice dry Riesling with some more green fruits on the palate. Still pretty tight.

  5/6/2015 - RajivAyyangar Does not like this wine: 75 Points

  7% Solution, SF 2015 (SF): Medium gold.
  N: Some off-aromas. Mostly thiol-driven (bitter grapefruit).
  P: Bitter, slight RS (6-8g/L?) reductive. Alcohol: 12.5%? (12.4%! bingo). RS??? They said it’s very dry - 0.05g/L
  
  After being foot-stomped and given skin contact for about 3 hours, the grapes are pressed and separated into two lots. The first lot (about 2/3 of the fruit) goes into a stainless steel tank and ferments for about 3 weeks at 55F. The second lot goes into 2 stainless steel barrels and sees no temperature control, finishing its fermentation in about 10 days. Both lots fermented in 2013 on the strength of their native yeast. After fermentation completes, the wines are combined into stainless steel, stabilized, and allowed to overwinter, completely untouched, on their fine lees. The 2013 was bottled without filtration on April 1st, 2014.
