Not too complicated, but a very nice bottle at $20; I get apple, some pineapple, the wife got papaya, with some underlying petrol. Tangy, noticeable acidity on the finish...Definitely could lay some down!

Translucent color, pear & summer fruits on the nose, ethereally light on the palate with just enough sweetness and acid, and short finish. I guess this wine is the epitome of the feminine Mosel Riesling. The negatives include the lack of complexity and the short finish. Nevertheless, it is still a delicious off-dry wine that is great for casual sipping.

Very enjoyable, as usual. Green apple, poached pear, and I love the zip provided by the bit of CO2.

More mineral than the previous bottle. Sharp, refreshing. Rebuy: yes.

Last bottle already! The acidity is quite sharp and others have noted the shortish finish, but at $20 I am seriously contemplating getting a bit more.

I should try to lay off this stuff a bit, but it so pleasant and easy to drink.

Consistent notes. My favorite element of this wine is the crisp, almost crunchy mouth feel.

OldSpec gets it right, but this is an excellent value at $20 and a great summer wine.

Nice nose of apple & pear, dominant acid on the palate with little trace of sugar, medium short finish.

Medium straw color. Light clean mineral nose - like fresh rain on chalk. Very smooth luscious mouthfeel with a distinctive apple finish.

Yums. Bracing acidity, and a quite mineral, slightly marine aroma. Just wish this was cheaper so I could glug wines like this more often.
