Pale yellow color with petrol, lime stone fruit fresh and white flower aromas. On the palate, it approached medium-bodied with racy acidity, lime, stone fruit flavors. Medium finish. Good QPR @$12

BODY: pale green-tinged pale yellow color; light to medium-light bodied.
TASTE: lime; some petrol; moderate mineral; a touch creamy as it warms towards room temperature; good acidity; 13% alc. not noticeable; most of the action is on the front palate; not complex, but nonetheless quite good in its simplicity --- better than boring, but not quite intriguing. Good QPR, though.
B: 50, 5, 11, 15, 7 = 88
Nearly went with a “6” for an 87 (rather than the “7” for an 88).

Very nice riesling. Classic petrol and apples on the nose, little flat on the first night but then it improved significantly on the second. The nose added some pineapple and finish was full of nice acidity and tingly minerals. Enjoyable, relatively complex and very nice for the price.

Drank this a while ago. Pale gold. Reticent aromas of unripe stone fruits, hint of honeysuckle, and minerals. Medium weight with moderately ripe stone fruits, nice acids and really nice minerality on the midpalate. Finishes with grapefruit pith and a long minerally sensation. Great buy @ $13. 13% abv.

Stunningly good. This was a complex riesling that displayed multiple personalities. Best described as a "party in your mouth". A great balance of fruit and acidity with an initial kick of sweetness and tingly fruit with a follow through of tart acidity. Just a fabulous bottle. Much better at room temperature than served super-chilled.

Great colour. The nose shows citrus fruit and a touch of steely minerality. The palate is dry and well structured with a good long finish. $13.
