Looking for an easy-drinking white last night, I cracked:
1. ColeRanch Riesling MendoCnty (13.4%) RootdownWineCllrs/Geyserville/SonomaCnty 2019: Med.gold color; strong R/floral/mango/dandelions/bit pineapple fairly strong petrol/Mosel valve oil/pungent some complex fragrant nose; quite tart/tangy bit steely/metallic totally dry strong floral/R/mango/dandelions/bit pineapple fairly pungent/petrol/Mosel valve oil light earthy/mineral some complex/old-timey flavor; long some petrol/Mosel valve oil finish that mirrors the flavor; a lovely old-timey Calif R that has evolved really nicely & should go another 4-8 yrs; lots of c-c/petrol character. $39.00

More rottersplit from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I'm finding a lot of Calif R that I'm really liking. They are not so much like German R than they resemble Austrian R or AltoAdige R. Many come from ColeRanch/McFadden Ranch in MendoCnty and the RonSiletto Ranch in SanBenitoCnty.
