Description
The 2020 Dry Riesling Argetsinger Vineyard has just three grams of sugar, plus 8.2 grams of total acidity and 13.4% alcohol. This is another $14 per bottle over the regular Dry Riesling, but it is the better wine. It is deeper, more intense and more likely to age well. It also has the expression of fruit that the regular Dry Riesling lacks. Despite the different balance between sugar and acidity, this remains nicely balanced too, not shrill at all. Right now, this looks like one of the best I've seen in the brand. It drinks nicely today, but it should easily last for another 10 years, probably more. It's a beauty right now. Let's also hope it improves and gains anticipated nuance over the next couple of years. I'm leaning up on it today. 92 Points Wine Advocate
