Winery Reflections: 2017 wiley vineyard riesling
Candied lime, mint leaf, white nectarine. Grapefruit pith, new rubber, crunchy green pear. Daylilies and white hydrangeas, pickled ginger and cucumber skin. Green apple and citrus zest boom with pronounced aromatic intensity as they collide with fragrant flowers and brand-new tennis ball in this intricate and interesting bouquet. Intensely energetic on the palate showcasing underripe stone fruit and profound stony saline minerality, eventually revealing a touch of slightly bitter phenolics presented as green fern, cilantro stem, and pine sap. Medium bodied with fierce acidity that is wonderfully and deliciously in balance. Bone dry, tense, and tightly wound. This 2017 Wiley Vineyard Riesling by Terragena Vineyards is a captivating and compelling aromatic white from Anderson Valley.
