'The 2018 Riesling Vandenberg opens beautifully in the glass, showing notable density and creaminess that continues to build in the glass. Orchard fruit, wild flowers. Jolly Ranch and mint overtones all grace this exquisite, beautifully perfumed Riesling from one of the top sites in Santa Barbara. The 2018 is such an inviting wine.' - Antonio Galloni - 92PTS

- Typically, the selection for Vandenberg are grapes with a higher percentage of Botrytis, or "Noble Rot." The result is a richer more fruit-driven wine. It has more of the stone fruit flavors often associated with Riesling, nice minerality, and some slight botrytis notes often expressed as honey, or pollen.
- This wine is a blend of multiple pickings from multiple sites in Santa Barbara County. A majority of the fruit comes from "Kick-on Ranch," while the rest comes from other older vineyards in the area.
- Founded in 2008 with two Riesling vineyards, the aim was to create a bone-dry Riesling unlike many of the off-dry examples found nowadays across California.
- Pairs nicely alongside spiced duck leg.
- Can be enjoyed upon release or has ageing potential for 3-5 years.

"The 2020 Riesling Kick-on Ranch is riveting. Structured and deep, with tremendous poise, the 2020 impresses with its vertical structure and overall intensity. Orchard fruit, citrus peel and dried flowers build into a crescendo of aromas and flavors. Unforgettable." Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, 95 pts
