Gauthier 2011 Hillside Vineyard Riesling (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Hillside Vineyard
Variety: Riesling California
Winery: Gauthier / Santa Lucia Highlands

Indisputably Riesling, with its strong aroma of petrol. In the mouth, that oily taste persists, alongside apples, white peaches and honeysuckle, brightened with crisp acidity. It’s a honey-sweet wine, which puts it into the dessert category.
