Year-in and year-out Featherstone continues to make awesome Rieslings at affordable prices. Who would have thought you could still get a 30+ year old vined Riesling for under 20-bucks … well you can, and you should kiss (on the cheek) owners Dave and Louise each time you do for keeping it that way. The nose on this wine is rich with juicy peach, wet stone, touch of citrus and apple blossom. But it’s the palate that does some real showing off here, with refreshing mineral, green apple tartness and crisp citrus blast, which lasts all the way through to that lemon-mineral finish. Another shining example of good quality Riesling at an excellent price. Price: $18.95 – Rating: ****½
