Very nice. Cool climate aromas of green apple and pear with a slight bit of white peach and petrol. Palate is lean and has a zippy acidity, green apple, white peach, and (in a good way) kerosene wisps. Moderate alcohol and complexity with medium minus body. Went great with sushi and Chinese food!

Pale lemon. NOSE: Medium intensity on the nose. Petroleum and peach jumps out first. There is green apple here too. PALATE: Pétillance. Dry. Peach and peach stone (a modicum of bitterness), honey, peach blossom, petroleum (more subtle than recent German Rieslings that i have had), green apple, grapefruit and tapioca pudding (others call this honeycomb aroma) and some stoney minerality (only noticed this after someone pointed it out but now i taste it with every sip). Acid is medium (+), body is medium which surprises me. Somehow expected something with less weight. The alcohol is medium (12%) and i think this is a beauty. Its balanced, long finish, medium (+) intensity and surprisingly complex. I think its very good to excellent quality and would rate it 90 points.
Would certainly buy again. Excellent QPR. $14/bottle. This is a real find. JTH and CEH think its just a delicious as I do. Will send a bottle home with CEH and definitely thinking of buying some Malaysian food to have with this.
Drink now but i reckon this could last a year or two longer. That acidity and fruit is encouraging.

Served with skillet chicken poblano enchiladas. Clear light gold with a bit of effervescence. Nose: peach, very clean. Apricot/peach on palate, nice fruit. Dry but not austere. This wine worked (surprisingly) very well with the peppers in the enchiladas (poblano and serrano) - provided a beautiful balance. Nice finish.

A fine finger lakes Riesling! Peach is dominant on the nose. Apricot, lemon lime, on the palate . Great balance of fruit, acidity. Minerality shows through on the palate.

The nose is accessible, showing aromas of white flowers, peach, citrus and minerals. This is light bodied on the palate with good concentration and a fair bit of class. The medium plus length finish features brisk acidity and a strong mineral element.

Lovely color. The nose is pure and classy, showing citrus, apple, white flowers, orange blossom and minerals. This is light bodied on the palate, with very good concentration and real class. The medium plus length finish features a serious mineral element.

Enjoyed this bottle a great deal. Drank over several days. Initially, it appeared a bit closed and simple but over the following 2 days it really opened up. Nose: Lanolin, petrol mixed with notes of lemon Pledge. Palate: crisp with good weight/ viscosity and minerality. Def. more lemon peel and a bit of pineapple. Medium+ finish. Day 1: 88; Day 2 & 3: 90 - 91 Nice buy

Boerne wine club - New York: pale straw. light petrol, lime aromas. aggressively bone dry with tart green apple flavors. A bit out of balance, seeming, but interesting

Still drinking very well with citronella and loads of petrol character. Excellent balance of acidity and fruit character.

A good American Riesling that certainly deserves a look. Dry and flavorful. Not as mineral as I enjoy but a well made wine

Minerally, chalky nose. Citrusy, grapefruit. Solid wine and great price. Would pair well with some pork or fish.

Convincing dry Riesling at a good price. Rather good focus and minerality. Clean nose, well-made wine. $17.

Pretty straightforward but enjoyable and food friendly. Heavy on the stone fruits, a little spice and minerals, nice balance and mouthfeel.
