Awards & Reviews
Rick VanSickle- 2023 (90 points) — Back 10 has never wavered from its combination of 20 g/l of RS, 10 g/l of titratable acidity and 10% abv for its Riesling. “That’s our perfect recipe, off dry with lots of acid,” said Brooks. It’s laced with lime, grapefruit, peach and green apple with a nice saline edge on the nose. The citrus fruits are tangy on the palate, with any sweetness balanced by the vibrant acidity. Can cellar this through 2029.
