Pale. "Sweet" nose. Hard to find out what exactly is there. Initially seeming too sweet though the acidity finally catches up after a glass or two. Not especially concentrated.

2005-2011 German Spatleses (Rich & Peggy's House, Los Altos, CA): Little spritzy. Sweet green pea and tart peach nose. Tart green apple in the mouth, nice acid, not much residual sugar. Almost Sauvignon Blanc like. Unusual but not bad. (my 6th, group's 6th)

Sweetness and strong apple flavors combine to taste like, well, apple juice. There's pineapple, honey, and lychee, but you have to look hard for them; somewhat one-dimensional. Good persistence throughout, and a generous finish, but only modest citrus verve to balance the sweetness. Decent quality, but wouldn't write home about it, nevermind that mom is more of a viogner gal anyway. Would buy again, but not for more than the ~$15 K&L was asking in the first place.

Very pale still. Ginger, peach and honey nose. Nose exactly complex or concentrated but very soft and gulpable.

This is on the sweet side. I would prefer a bit more citrus and minerals.
