Rustic spice and blue fruit on the nose. Palate falls short with not enough fruit, weight or finish. Bright acid.
I'm regularly a fan of Reininger wines, but this one is just not my favorite.

This wine instantly stood out in a fight of 05 Nebbiolo wines for its femininity and floral notes (others tasted much riper). Should age well for another 5-7+ years.

Fresh citrus (tangerine) nose that opens up to slight gooseberry after a few minutes. Nice mid-palate and balanced acidity. Very mild sweet lift on the finish for balance. Light-medium bodied. Very nice example of this varietal. I continue to be impressed by Terry Brandborg's white wines.
