Radio-Coteau Sonoma Coast Riesling 2022

$5499

Riesling grown a stone's throw from the cold Pacific? That alone makes this Radio-Coteau bottling a curiosity worth chasing. Eric Sussman planted a single estate acre of the grape in western Sonoma County, where his Sebastopol-based estate vineyard has been Demeter-certified biodynamic since 2018. It's a dry, low-intervention take on a variety rarely seen this close to the California coast, raised with the same hands-off care as his cool-climate Pinot and Syrah. Think Eureka lemon, lime, and white peach with a chalky coastal lift rather than anything sweet or showy.

"The 2022 Riesling Estate is fabulous. Rich, creamy and expansive, it is especially fine for the vintage. I admire its extroverted personality. I suppose there might be a bit less true varietal character this year, but that is a finer point given how much the wine delivers. White flowers, mint, lemon oil, mint, spice and ginger build effortlessly over time." —Antonio Galloni

More about Radio-Coteau

For years, a Californian wine needed to be ripe and powerful to attain cult status, even when the grape was Pinot Noir. Radio-Coteau has proven that this is no longer the case. Eric Sussman very much had Old-World France on his mind when he set out to found his winery at the beginning of this millennium. Years spent in Burgundy making elegant and earthy Pinot Noir imprinted on Eric just how to grow this finicky grape successfully in a cool climate.
