| Description: | Wine Director 90 points - The 2018 Riesling Magdalena Vineyard comes in with eight grams of residual sugar and 12.5% alcohol. Richer and fresher than, say, the Reserve Riesling this issue, there is a slightly sweet edge here that makes this seem a bit sweeter on opening than statistics would suggest. That's not to say there's a lot of sugar-there isn't. What this is, however, is simply far more expressive and vibrant than its siblings. Despite that 12.5% alcohol, it seems very elegant, and it is the only one of the group this issue that truly seems expressive of the grape. It's remarkably fruity in its youth, while some other 2018s (in general) that I've tasted have been steely and lean, or just plain dull. I'm not sure this is going to be one of their greatest, but it handles itself rather well. When Fred Merwath told me on my last visit that he preferred many of his 2018s to 2017s, I wasn't sure that made sense. But I'm beginning to get the point here. (This single-vineyard was not made in 2017-its juice was instead used to improve the quality of the Dry Riesling.) Our signature Riesling is vibrant and aromatic, featuring the distinctive minerality that has become our trademark. Fragrant essence of spring blossoms sets the stage for a succulent palate of early fruit, balanced with a refreshing crispness, revealing the true qualities of the Riesling grape. A brilliant texture carries into a lingering finish- Winery |
