The 2023 Riesling Poet's Leap features pure scents of peach, apricot, beeswax, citrus blossoms and green herbs. The light-bodied palate offers crisp, well-defined flavors. Its racy acidity is balanced by around 10 grams per liter residual sugar, and it has a long, vibrant finish. 4,980 cases produced.

Every year I marvel at how such a marvelous Riesling can be $20. The Poet's Leap opens with an aromatic ode to lychee fruit, honeysuckle, almond butter and a wisp of petrol. Lemony acidity curls itself around flavors like green honeydew melon, rose water and the sweetness of a slice of peach pie. The 2023 is as good as any in recent memory. Mercy.

Spiced and zesty, this offers crushed apples, tangerines, fresh flowers and crushed stones. Juicy and bright, it has medium body with zippy acidity and a delicious finish. Flavorful and seductive. Drink now.
