  Still drinking very well with citronella and loads of petrol character. Excellent balance of acidity and fruit character.

  A good American Riesling that certainly deserves a look. Dry and flavorful. Not as mineral as I enjoy but a well made wine

  Very nice. Cool climate aromas of green apple and pear with a slight bit of white peach and petrol. Palate is lean and has a zippy acidity, green apple, white peach, and (in a good way) kerosene wisps. Moderate alcohol and complexity with medium minus body. Went great with sushi and Chinese food!

  Pale lemon.
  NOSE:
  Medium intensity on the nose. Petroleum and peach jumps out first. There is green apple here too.
  PALATE:
  Pétillance. Dry. Peach and peach stone (a modicum of bitterness), honey, peach blossom, petroleum (more subtle than recent German Rieslings that i have had), green apple, grapefruit and tapioca pudding (others call this honeycomb aroma) and some stoney minerality (only noticed this after someone pointed it out but now i taste it with every sip). Acid is medium (+), body is medium which surprises me. Somehow expected something with less weight. The alcohol is medium (12%) and i think this is a beauty. Its balanced, long finish, medium (+) intensity and surprisingly complex. I think its very good to excellent quality and would rate it 90 points.
  
  Would certainly buy again. Excellent QPR. $14/bottle. This is a real find. JTH and CEH think its just a delicious as I do. Will send a bottle home with CEH and definitely thinking of buying some Malaysian food to have with this.
  
  Drink now but i reckon this could last a year or two longer. That acidity and fruit is encouraging.

  Served with skillet chicken poblano enchiladas.
  Clear light gold with a bit of effervescence.
  Nose: peach, very clean.
  Apricot/peach on palate, nice fruit. Dry but not austere. This wine worked (surprisingly) very well with the peppers in the enchiladas (poblano and serrano) - provided a beautiful balance. Nice finish.
