Vickery Reserve Castine Hayshed Block Riesling 2020

This generously proportioned 2020 Riesling is very approachable and close to peak condition thanks to open-knit aromas of Rose’s lime and apple skin with buttery brioche aged complexity emerging. Creamy textured and fleshy with good upfront intensity, it’s expressive and is drinking well now before softening a touch on the finish.
