Advertised as a Spätlese trocken style and fits that bill. Ripe apple/pear, ginger and other spice (is there some botrytis?? I think so), some mildly sulphury boiled egg, a hint of earthy mushroom. Some lemon. Juicy acid (M+), lean body (M-). A nice example of late harvest, cold climate riesling and of how good and how interesting Riesling can be in the $20 range. This should have a few years of good drinking left but it’s good now. 6.6/10

Lemon, salt, slate, and apple on the nose. High acid on the palate, medium minus RS. Lemon zest and river rock. This was (unexpectedly) much more youthful than a 2017 Ravines White Springs Riesling we opened alongside.

Strong petrol upon opening. Tart apple and saline on the palate. Yummy.

@ PnP:
Lovely, zippy, good fruit, refresh, nice QPR. Think it can last past the CT drink window...(88)
@ 48 hours:
Beautiful and together, airtime did this justice, great solo & with food (veal, spinach, rice)...(90)
Both times served 65 degrees.

Aromas of Granny Smith apple and wet slate. Pear, lychee and pronounced lemon/lime flavors. Gripping acidity. Light gold color.
