  June 8, 2020 - Citrus, wet stone, apricot, maracuia. Still very much into fruit, no tertiary aromas yet. Full bodier with some sweetnes, bold acidity. Good length.

  October 17, 2016 - Absolutely stellar showing. Off dry, palate-staining, downright electrical Riesling. lime blossom, rainier cherry, wet river rock, and fresh apricot dominate the nose, which is still quite young at age 8. Beautiful grapefruit-like phenolics linger through the finish. Dang I love this vineyard.

  February 18, 2012 - very distinct nose, petrol, naturel rubber?, chubby, stong minerality, slightly closed at this point, like a person a little bit unsettled ...., should be kept for some years before beeing tried again...., long range, at the moment 90 but in some years maybe up to 93?

  October 14, 2011 - Fun nose on this, like egg nog meets apple juice. Lots of apple meets that spiced cream sort of thing, anyway, pretty cool. The feel on the mouth is great, lightly sweet, lots of spiced apples showing, some brown sugar. As the acidity builds some minerality shows, along with a flavor that reminds me of a stainless steel tank, but not in a bad way. Really enjoyable wine, went great with dinner. Would buy again.
