far better known as a pinot noir producer, roessler has released this dry riesling from 25-year-old vines, and it's a terrifically interesting, distinctive california white wine. at 4 years of age, it's bone dry, showing crisp, vibrant anderson valley acidity, and is showing the oily, diesel, peach, honeysuckle and hazelnut flavors of a maturing, alsatian-style riesling. should continue to develop bottle complexity for another decade.
