"Just bottled a month ago, the 2023 Riesling Vandenberg is stellar. Soaring aromatics and strong mineral accents all race out of the glass. Lemon oil, slate, crushed rocks, mint and white flowers are immediately captivating. This is such a vivid, compelling wine. There's a feeling of transparency here that is so alluring."

"The 2023 Riesling Vandenberg emerges from a selection of less extracted lots from Kick-on Ranch, including some botrytized fruit. It is pure, vibrant and immediate on the nose, with stony, citrus and white flower aromas beaming from the glass. The palate is clean and high-toned, closing with a tangy, mouthwatering finish driven by squeaky clean acidity."

"The 2021 Riesling Vandenberg is a gorgeous, dynamic wine full of character. Citrus peel, white flowers, green pear and lime are all very nicely delineated in a wine that marries tension with a bit of sweetness from the small amount of botrytised fruit in the blend. Aging in steel keeps the flavors bright."
