Likely not. This has ripping acidity, but seems to be a bit off-dry with 1.85% RS. The acidity seems more than high enough to carry the slight sweetness, but the sweetness will still be perceptible.

This is a zesty little Sauv Blanc/Riesling blend from the good folks at Everett Ridge and Esterlina. I think it's a safe bet the Riesling is some of the Esterlina estate fruit.
Not a bad wine to enjoy during the fall weather in Southern California...

Hello Stephen! I recall tasting this at the Everett Ridge winery. Is it accurate to say the Diablita wines are made at the ER facility, by ER/Esterlina winemaker Lynn Krausmann? And is the Riesling in the blend Esterlina estate fruit?
