 Tasted by Charogers on 11/7/2013 & rated 87 points: Easy drink continues - unlikely to get any better (3146 views)
 Tasted by Charogers on 9/25/2013 & rated 89 points: Quite fruity though not overbearing - apples and pears. Fairly easy drink esp w/ food - the tarragon comment makes a lot of sense. (3029 views)
 Tasted by csomers12 on 9/1/2013 & rated 85 points: Lush. Passion fruit. Great with grilled lobster and particularly striking affinity with tarragon. (3134 views)
 Tasted by drinkingonthejob on 8/30/2013 & rated 88 points: dry petrol and lemon with some apple mixed in. Tastes exactly how I expect it to for the price. good quaffer. (3067 views)
 Tasted by vegasoenophile on 4/20/2013 & rated 93 points: Lighter nose of stone and petrol and lime aromas. Some hints of spring flowers. Dry and delicious. Always enjoy this wine. Nice spice and mineral notes with wonderful texture, good structure with flavors of pear, lychee and lime zest. (3462 views)
 Tasted by SonomaWilliam on 10/4/2012 & rated 89 points: For under $15, a great quality dry Riesling imported by Pasternak.

Pale yellow color.
Nose of white blossom, (not overbearing) apple, asian pear.
In the Mouth its bright, and clean, with good fruit, and good acidity, touch of minerality. I'd pair it with food to to enjoy even further,
grilled fare, salads, roast chicken, some pasta dishes.

A good everyday drinking wine for the price.

 Tasted by jman on 9/6/2012 & rated 89 points: Dry n flowery. Good for a table wine (1455 views)
 Tasted by amateurwino on 5/5/2012: A solid dry Alsatian riesling, this was fresh and lively in a way that the entry level bottlings from Alsace rarely are - worth the extra $ in my opinion for this reserve. Like the cremants, this bottling furthers my feeling that this is one of my favorite value producers in the region. (1569 views)
 Tasted by bianca15 on 3/11/2012 & rated 88 points: A really nice, classic Alsatian Riesling. Crisp yet fruity. A very good price. Must look for this again. (1302 views)
 Tasted by Epic Tale on 2/6/2012 & rated 89 points: color: faint yellow; nose: Stayman apple x Bartlett pear; taste: bright flinty apple taste, no sweetness, clean mineral short-duration finish; overall: this wine reminds me of Meryl Streep -- gutsy, focused, versatile, surprising, and charming -- and good either by itself or paired with food (chicken florentine, in our case), decent QPR ($13) and worth buying more of.
