Very unique in terms of a riesling from California. Lots of petrol on the nose, which I really like in my rieslings. Lime, lemon, stone fruit like pear and white nectarine. I also get a little hint of white pepper along with wet river stone and granite. Heck, even a little lemongrass. Lots going on here with a long life still ahead of it.

Pale straw color with a yellow-green hue. Oily nose with some kiwi-lime, gooseberry, and crushed stone, with a tangy palate of some lemon, tangerines, grapefruit, and more lime. Supple finish. Still needs time, so drink 2023-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

white peach, crushed rock, yellow apple, honey, citrus peel, jasmine, lime and subtle spice.
not overly sweet, acid is great. takes guts to plant riesling on spring mountain and not just profit off of cabernet all day. this is probably the best domestic riesling IMO. Really refined, just give it time.

Petrol and stone fruit on the nose. Off dry on the palate with zingy acid and white fruits. Slightly tart. Very enjoyable.

Petrol aromas with hints of white peach. Flavors of petrol, mineral, and stone fruit. Med body and finish.
