2021 Forge Wagner Caywood Dry Riesling 750Ml

This is the perfect example of how terroir transcends the varietal, and how Riesling can be used as a conduit of site expression. Winemaking practices among Forge's Rieslings are exactly the same from site to site, yet there are stark differences between a wine like Wagner Caywood East and its slightly southern neighbor, Willow. Here, you have one site with a much greater incline and more gravelly, shale-dominated composition, which tends to yield wines with a bit of tension and mineral focus.
