A nice example of a crisp, tart and bone-dry Riesling, from a little-known region of Mendocino. Lime, diesel and flowery tastes finish smooth and clean. Try this as an alternative to Sauvignon Blanc. 1 Note

Sweet, soft and simple, in fact a little insipid, with a sugary finish that makes the candied fruit cloying. 1 Note

Here’s a very rich, layered Sauvignon Blanc from this warmer part of Mendocino County. It’s crisp and bone dry, yet filled with exotic, tropical flavors of guava, passionfruit and nectarine. The acidity leaves a clean, mouthwatering aftertaste. 1 Note

Give this Mendocino-grown Riesling a bit more flavorful concentration, and it would be in the top ranks. As it is, it’s still refreshing, a bone dry, crisp white with peach and honeysuckle flavors. 1 Note

Tastes off-dry, with a honeyed sweetness to the ripe peach and green apple fruit. Crisp acidity provides needed balance. If you like your Rieslings slightly sweet, it’s for you. 1 Note

From a little-known appellation in Mendocino County that has warm days and cool nights comes this wonderfully rich wine. Feels lush and brilliant in the mouth, with ripe berry flavors balanced with herbs and olives. Dry and balanced, with just a kiss of oak, this is a stylish drink with great complexity.

Simple, soft and dry, with cherry cough drop flavors and some pretty fierce tannins. Decant it for a while to let it breathe. 1 Note
