  April 11, 2015 - Pale yellow in color. Great nose - pear, candied citrus, a little grassiness, even some faint stone hiding in there. I also get the canned fruit aromas. Medium mouthfeel at first with citrus and pear flavors, but as it warms up it becomes heavier and tastes suspiciously like a lemon jolly rancher - a war between sugar and acid with the fruit flavors getting squashed in the middle. Long but overly sweet finish and the candy flavors were a little much for me. Get the temperature just right and this is a crowd pleaser.

  March 9, 2015 - Bought on McMinnville trip, PnP, let warm in glass for 10 min, crisp straw color, inviting tropical nose, med mouthfeel, med length finish with some pear and honey, not too sweet, very enjoyable at $11.

  June 3, 2014 - Pale straw in color, this wine showed Anjou pear, honey, grapefruit and white flowers on the nose. The mouth feel brought high levels of sweetness, pineapple and nectarine.m The finish was short with the sweetness in higher levels than the acidity.
  
  Purchased for $12.50, this wine is a lot higher in sweetness than I prefer. The 8.7% abv is nice to pair with spicy, Asian foods but I most likely will not be purchasing this offering again. It's just not my style.

  May 25, 2014 - Very pleasant domestic Riesling. One of the most "Germanic" style domestic Riesling wines I have tasted. A pleasant finish.

  January 4, 2014 - This one is pretty sweet. Nothing wrong with being sweet, but this time it does seem to mask some of the more subtle flavors. The color is very close to white. The nose smells sweet with canned pears, white flowers and honey. The palate is very light on it's feet with pineapple joining white apple, pear and light grapefruit. Not at all acidic. Does not have a typical high viscosity mouth feel. Not my favorite style, but can see why many would like this wine.
