Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard Hermann J. Wiemer Magdalena Vineyard Riesling 2022 750ml

Still a spring chicken, this top Riesling—if drunk now—needs a few good swirls in the glass before releasing delicate orange citrus, jasmine and honeysuckle aromas from the clutch of more reductive ones. There's richness and intensity on the dry, slippery palate, cut with citrusy acidity and a chalk dust minerality to the ultralong finish. This is a wine of complexity and class that should cellar until 2032 or longer.

Shows a dusting of talc over lemon curd, yellow apple and mirabelle plum notes, while verbena and a flash of mint flicker on the plump finish. Drink now through 2029. 400 cases made.
