Waxwing 2016 Tondre Grapefield Riesling (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Tondre Grapefield
Variety: Riesling California
Winery: Waxwing / Santa Lucia Highlands

This wine’s aromas are slightly reserved at first, recalling yellow pear and chalk. The flavors are also restrained on the zippy palate, with Asian pear and honeysuckle hints. But what it lacks in expressivity it makes up for in crispness and textural grip.
