Product notes

Even though the growing season in Potter Valley tends to lag behind Napa, the dry, mild winter led to an early start for the Riesling vines. ankfully, spring weather proved to be ideal and uneventful. However, warm conditions heading into summer and a relatively light crop pushed ripening ahead of average. e intense heat at the beginning of harvest accelerated ripening further, but by the end of September the fruit had matured beautifully.

Tasting notes

Asian pear and cinnamon are immediately evident, lending depth and richness. is wine is surprisingly integrated given its youth, although there’s certainly more complexity lurking beneath the surface. Meyer lemon, honey candy, and dried pineapple lend a sense of hedonistic.
