At first I was wondering what Casa Dea was still doing with a 2011 Riesling available … was it not selling? Was there a problem with it? None of the above. This is a real appealing Riesling that takes County Riesling to a whole new level. The minerality (wet stone) and the acidity really fight it out here with stone fruit playing the balancing sweet role between the duo of dries. Clean, crisp and refreshing with kick-ass citrus on the long finish … a food friendly Riesling that’s a summer sipper for terroir nuts and acid heads alike. Price: $16.95 – Rating: ****
