Fermented in stainless steel. RS approximately 7 g/l. 1,449 cases made. Pale-to-light yellow-gold. Aromas of Asian pear, golden apple, beeswax and a hint of orange peel. Flavours of candied orange peel, beeswax and poached pear are backed by lemon oil and orange oil that sizzles with excellent acidity, as notes of orange peel linger in the finish. (AY)

Opening with scents of petrol and cut grass, the 2017 Riesling is something of an oddity for Napa, where Riesling has largely been replaced by other varieties. Notes of paraffin, green apple and lime also appear on the nose, while the almost-dry, medium-bodied palate is cool, refreshing and stony, with a long, tangy finish and hints of beeswax and honey. It's already drinkable, but like many Rieslings, it should have a decently long drinking window.
