  Dry but minimally sweet. Would be easy to drink, but I used it for wine can turkey and gravy

  A very nice dry Riesling that paired well with grilled shrimp.

  Unscrewed and poured. Rich, clean aromas of lime and flowers. Simple flavors of stone fruit with some peach pit. Medium finish with citrus and apples. Very dry, with some illusory sweetness. Balanced, classic, some depth, some complexity. I like it, but it feels like something is missing. Let's just say that the whole is equal to the sum of the parts - no more, no less. Excellent value.

  A delightful, light crisp wine. Moderately aromatic with nose of peach, citrus, grass. Good acidity. Palate similar to nose. Moderate finish. Very, very nice.

  This is some really good, nearly bone-dry Riesling. There is a bit of funkiness on the nose that is initially a little odd, but with some investigation gives way to bruised apple, earth and gunpowder. In the mouth, surprisingly good texture, feel and acidic balance on the palate that pairs well with the fruit and floral flavors. The finish doesn't last terribly long but I am really impressed by the integration between the acids and flavors. As soon as the flavors end, so does the acidity, where as some Rieslings can be acid bombs that leave a ton of left over acidity in the cheeks and teeth. Overall, this is really well made and balanced. I have heard people in the past name this winery for their reserve Riesling and now I see why.
