The nose is underwhelming, in a way I think is typical of Rieslings in this style.On the palate, crisp citrus up front transitioning to a pleasant minerality on the finish. Very reminiscent of Rieslings from the Alsace region. I would definitely buy again.

Dry, of course. On its own, a little tart up front. However, it's a perfect wine for picnic or summer-porch fare because it compliments fruits and mild cheeses VERY well. A big hit in our group with thar pairing.

Rich apple sauce nose with hints of blue cheese, interesting. Green apples on the palate with hints of orange stone fruit, some limes as well leading into the finish. Pretty heavy weight on the palate for a dry Riesling. Strong acids, so drying it almost feels tannic. Maybe it's to young? With the weight and acidity maybe it just needs time in bottle. As of right now, I'd be willing to take the chance and wait. 85+

Yellow gold. The nose is completely shut down. The palate tastes somewhat artificial and chemical. Full bodied, spoofy citrus flavors and no finish.

Clear, but could be tighter. Also being served a bit warm. Here it is. Fine at $20.
