Birichino 2023 Riesling Wirz Vineyard Cienaga Valley   

2023 Birichino Riesling Wirz Vineyard, Cienega Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92 Points
Floral and notably pretty, with fine elegance to the nose, this “old vine” Riesling delivers scents of honeysuckle, Mandarine orange, nectarine and sweet apple which fan out adding mineral, spice and other fruit notes in support. Rich and more or less dry in style, it showcases this vineyard's characteristic mineral edge along with emerging caramel apple notes in the lingering finish. If a trace quirky, it is truly fine stuff overall. Approximately 150 to 175 cases produced.  $28.95
