2023 Erratic Oaks Riesling

"Lemon pith, lime leaf, pear skin, underripe apple, candied lemon peel, honeysuckle, honeycomb, sweet grass, and lightly toasted pine nuts make for a wonderfully layered nose. The palate leans into lemon meringue, baked apple, and olive oil lemon cake, all lifted by bright acidity that keeps richness in check. About halfway through tasting this wine, all I could think about was pairing it with homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and now I can't think about anything else. Try it, you won't regret it."

"Regardless of how much life shifts, Erratic Oaks is a sanctuary. Perfectly balanced, off-dry in style, the palate is coated in sweet, fleshy fruits: Honeycrisp apple, candied pineapple, and fresh pear. At some point, we all find ourselves wandering farther from comfort than expected. And when that happens, remember: it's dangerous to go alone. Take Erratic Oaks."

"This wine opens with subtle aromas of underripe pear, delicate white flowers, and a touch of chalky minerality. The palate evolves into richer flavors of red apple, ripe pear, overripe banana, and lychee, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and lush fruit. Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, it finishes smooth and balanced with a gentle mineral lift."
