TN: 2020 Rootdown Riesling Cole Ranch (USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino County)

  • 2020 Rootdown Riesling Cole Ranch - USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino County (6/23/2022)
    Excellent little Riesling from the owner of Cole Ranch. Petrol on nose, stays on palate, but there’s a slight convergence towards a tropical note in there (but the Riesling-notes win in the end). There’s a slight honeydew melon note somehow. Good acidity, long finish. Off dry for my palate, but for German Riesling-heads this would be classified as dry. (92 pts.)

I’ve tasted at Leo Steen multiple times, which shares their tasting room with Rootdown. Will have to try Rootdown next time.
