2017 Idlewild Cortese Fox Hill Vineyard - USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino County (12/3/2021)
Been following this wine for several vintages, and this is my favorite. I love the subtle richness to the texture, and especially enjoy the breadth and complexity of the finish, which reminds me more than a little of some great Grüner Veltliners. Where it’s distinctive is the orange zest, wheat dough finish, which I keep coming back for. Should have bought a case.
