| The two vintages preceding this brand-spanking-new 2015 each received a perfect five-star rating from wine writer Rod Phillips, who calls the Black Sheep \"a terrific riesling, vintage after vintage\" (May 30, 2015). Look for bright, sweetkissed citrus fruit riding a wave of brilliant acidity. Chill and sip or pair with spicy seafood and noodle dishes, radish salad or sushi. |
