  December 18, 2013 - Absolutely fantastic California riesling. Fresh tropical fruit, slight petrol, great balance, only slightly sweet but very delicious. This went great with our spicy asian meal. Great QPR!

  October 2, 2013 - Popped and poured. Synthetic cork. Light, pleasant honey lemon aroma. Complex, subtle and mutable flavors with elements of stone fruit, kumquat, petrol and minerals. Lingering mineral/peach finish. Racy, fairly dry with a bit of sweetness. World class and hits all the right notes.
  
  Deserves at least a screw cap.

  July 10, 2013 - Chateau Montelena dinner with Brian Baker (Waterleaf Restaurant at College of DuPage): Light yellow color. Notes of honey, spice, pear, citrus, honeysuckle flowers and minerals. Flavors of melon, pear and minerals with a lovely tart citrus note on the finish and bright underlying acidity. Fresh and lively, made in a dry style. Theirs is a domestic Riesling I have enjoyed each of the few times I have tasted it, and the 2011 is no exception.
