Tasting notes
Medium gold-hued, with a bright, juicy, off-dry style, the 2019 Riesling offers terrific aromatics of honeyed citrus, mint, and lychee nut. Nicely balanced and medium-bodied, with bright acidity and a great finish, it's a rich, concentrated, yet racy, vibrant Riesling.

Marked by scents of honey and Golden Delicious apples, the 2019 Riesling appears to be aging a bit rapidly, but it still retains plenty of current-drinking appeal. Medium-bodied and crisp, it finishes long. Drink it up over the next several years.
The 2019 Riesling is another fabulous wine from Smith-Madrone. It offers tons of varietal character wedded to mountain structure. Lime, dried flowers, chamomile, orchard fruit, spice and jasmine all race across the palate. I especially admire the precision here. The finish is long and fresh.
