2021 Tatomer "Kick On Ranch Clone 239" Riesling, Santa Barbara, CaliforniaABOUT THIS WINE The Kick on Ranch Clone 239 Riesling is yet another stunning white crafted by Graham Tatomer, the States' leading producer of Germanic varieties. Grafted onto Pinot Noir vines nearly a decade ago by Graham himself, the decision to choose Clone 239 was inspired by the viticultural team at Weingut Knoll in the Wachau, where Graham learned his trade. The sandy soils and coastal breezes of Kick on Ranch make it the ideal place for growing

lightness and zip are more important than gobs of fruit

We work with top growers in very high quality and responsibly farmed

the bodega is also home to one of the finest privately-held collections of Spanish painting in the world

The palate is rich and honeyed yet supported by vibrant citrus-driven acidity

A little over a decade later

The rest of the growing season gave us perfect weather with only a few days over 100 degrees F
