Very simple Riesling. Slightly off-dry with pear, citrus, and ripe gala apple and subtle floral hints. Many in the crowd liked the fruitiness and simplicity of this wine.

Nice, interesting nose, not super complex, but satisfying. Kind of flat on the palate. A little flabby, not enough of the "spritz" that I like in a Riesling. Unbalanced. Much better available for a few dollars more, really not quite worth it for me.

Solid wine for the price. Was a hit with Kung Pao Chicken.Good fruit with green apple and almost a citrus overtone. Lacks a little acid needed for a higher score. Great QPR.

Decent Riesling with moderate character. Granny smith apple, citrus and pear flavors. As before, this falls off in the finish, but this is quite serviceable. The mouth feel could use a bit more zing.

This is a perfectly nice drinker for the price. Green apple, pear, not particularly sweet to my taste, almost a bit of low-end Sancerre green/grassy thing going on.

Definitely more off-dry than similar examples in the price range. Great floral bouquet, but I'm really missing a well-placed acidity to balance this one. Just not as deft in texture.

This firmed up quite a bit since my last taste last year, losing a bit of baby fat; however, this is still lacks the vibrancy of the 2008 version. Lovely attach and medium weight on the palate, but this falls off quickly in the finish.

A bit of a step dwon from the 2008. Classic apples, melons and peaches, but little minerality or length. Not quite the electricity of last year's version.

5/28/10: Was pretty excited about the new vintage of this wine, and a little let down. Some apples on the nose. A lot simpler then the previous vintage. Still a good value, but just a little bit better then average. 86-87

Same as before; citric, granny smith apple, pear. Would love more acid, mineral and just general drive.

Clean lemony apple nose, pale dishsoap color, one dimensional and flabby, lacks acidity of any kind. hint of RS. pass.

Pleasing and easy to drink but a little too simple and sugarfied. Doesn't have near the quality of other wines from this producer.
