Dandelion Vineyards Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling
Happy birthday to Colin Kroehn’s riesling vines, celebrating their 100th vintage this year! The season has certainly risen to the occasion, delivering a standout Dandelion that will rank among the best yet. The bouquet sets out with a fragrance of pure lime blossom and spicy kaffir lime zest, which continue with delicate poise through a palate of seamless line, pristine energy and exceedingly persistent aftertaste. Soft, fine, mineral, chalky texture lingers amid perfectly poised acidity. $20 at WineStar, Cracka, Taste Eden Valley and No Frills Wine.
