2021 Desire Lines Experimental Series No 10 Old Durney Massa Vineyard Riesling Carmel Valley, USA
$37.00
In some mysterious way, I think the remarkable setting and unusual soil type stamp our Massa Vineyard Riesling with a personality distinct from our Mendocino County Rieslings (Cole Ranch and Wiley Vineyard). I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something singular to the austere phenolic mouthfeel, opulent orange citrus fruit profile, and herbal nuances that speak of California’s sunny Central Coast. The wine was fermented in a 1000-liter Stockinger oval and left on lees until bottling in July. The wine shows just a touch of matchstick reduction on the nose, which I adore, and it reminds me a little of the Rieslings from Hofgut Falkenstein. 4.5 g/L RS and 7.1 g/L TA - From Desire Lines
