(1) 2015 SCRIBE Estate Riesling / 750mL

After more than a decade of growing Riesling on the SCRIBE Estate, we have come to understand how to balance this noble grape's sometimes generous spirit and capture its higher tones and fresh characteristics. Our Riesling is dry – with 0.0 grams of residual sugar – which gives center stage to the pleasures of its unique minerality and evocative floral and stone fruit aromatics. These wines are still alive and humming with vibrant but balanced acidity and deeply perfumed in the uniquely delicate way only Riesling can be.

* 2012 SCRIBE Estate Riesling
Golden Apple, Limestone, Passionflower
An ideal growing season.  No spring frosts, consistent temperatures and a warm summer set the scene for a sharp ripening curve and early harvest.

* 2013 SCRIBE Estate Riesling
Bartlett Pear, Hibiscus, Carmel
A classically warm and balanced spring with early bud break. Cooler temperatures moving into the fall allowed for extended hang time and complexity without high sugar levels. 

* 2015 SCRIBE Estate Riesling
Blood Orange, Oyster Shell, Plumeria
A dry, warm winter encouraged an early start to the season, with bud break in mid-February. The rainy spring that followed reduced the yields to small, concentrated berries but August heat spiked prompted our earliest harvest yet.
