2019 Ridgecrest Estate Dry Riesling Ribbon Ridge

WSI93 Sweet mouthfeel, characteristic of a nearly dry Riesling (traces of residual sugar), this wine has plenty of mineral and fruit notes, an exotic melon, guava and mandarin skin mix, soft and weighty mouthfeel that finishes with crisp bright lemon drop notes. 
Estate Notes: We are suckers for Riesling. There, I said it. And this is our first version under the Ridgecrest label. Upon first impression this wine is youthful and will continue to evolve and open-up with time. But what we already see is classic Ribbon Ridge stone-fruit, juicy aromas of yellow plum or ripe apricot, and fresh air-hung laundry. A bit of residual sugar on the palate gives this wine a lushness and rich viscosity that classic aged Rieslings benefit from, but a bright refreshing razor-sharp acid. that helps prove why Riesling is the most food-friendly wine on the block. Ripe pears, white flower and spicy ginger finish strong and hold onto your tastebuds. Super duper age-worthy. 290 cases produced.
About: RR wines will be the best wines we can source from our 120 acre (41 planted) Ridgecrest Vineyards estate, which contains the first vines planted on Ribbon Ridge. They are not designed for a mass market, but for serious aging and for understanding the potential of this special land mass called Ribbon Ridge. Their concentration, their blackness, their elegance, their textural excitement all stem from the vineyard—its maturity; deep penetration of dry-farmed vines to find rock, nutrients and water; organic farming; limited yield and sensitive fermentation to protect vintage characteristics.
