For a man who prides himself on single vineyard Riesling from the Picone Vineyard – it would seem Charles is stepping out on his long love affair with Picone fruit … this time with the 13 year old vines of the Ivan Vineyard. There’s a nice minerality throughout, very stony with just a touch of sweetness to keep it from being too rocky – nice dry finish with hints of lime pith and good balancing acidity. Seems after trying this new Riesling you’ll be ready to forgive Charles Baker his little indiscretion and give his new love interest a thumbs up. Price: $35.00 – Rating: ****
