- 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
