title: Waxwing 2015 Wirz Vineyard Riesling (Cienega Valley)
description: There is light melon fruit to the nose of this wine, but its aromatics are mostly about minerality, with wet river stones and rainy cement notes most prominent. The head-trained, organically farmed and very old vines contribute a bright, zesty, nearly overpowering acidity to the palate, where pear skins and tangy kumquat flavors hold a laser-sharp line.
variety: Riesling
