MaidenStoen 2014 Lafond Vineyard Riesling (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Lafond Vineyard
Variety: Riesling California
Winery: MaidenStoen / Sta. Rita Hills

Winemaker Mike Callahan’s small Riesling project is packed with promise. This bottling shows tight yellow grapefruit pith, wet stones, crushed sea shells and richer Key lime notes on the nose. A touch of fresh oregano flashes on the palate, alongside chalk, white flowers and lemon oil laid upon a brisk but waxy mouthfeel.
