Tasting Notes

“ Our Dry Riesling is a dry, crisp, refreshing style of Riesling with beautiful forward fruit flavors and an elegant finish. It delivers brisk, cooler climate Riesling characters of mandarin orange, key lime, ripe nectarine and pear. This is the wine I like to drink at home as an aperitif.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker
