  Above average for the price, agreed on the point of value made by others. Flower scent and apricot taste perceptible.....had with Thai food, went very well. Characteristic of a good California Riseling.

  Colour: very pale yellow
  Clarity: clear
  Aroma intensity: moderate
  Development: youthful
  Aromas: grass, minerals
  Dry: dry
  Body: light
  Acidity: crisp
  Flavour itensity: flavourful
  Flavours: tart green apple, hint of tangerine, honey, and salt. The acidity is high but fairly well-balanced; if it wasn't so balanced it would have a slightly alcoholic taste.
  Not exceptional, but an enjoyable, very well-made wine for the price point. Nice with food. Would buy again, but if I had a choice I would pay the extra ~$4 for the Dr. Frank Dry Riesling over the Salmon Run.
  Acid: .84 g/100 ml
  PH: 3.07
  Residual Sugar: 1.7
  Alcohol %: 11.7

  A touch cold on opening, but opened up nicely as it warmed a bit. Light straw color, nice citrus nose. We drank with a strawberry and avacado salad, and it was almost the perfect pairing, holding up nicely to the light vinegrette dressing because there is a hint vanilla in the citrus flavors. Medium body at 12% with just a hint of sugar, but well-balanced with acid. Not a top of the line riesling from this producer, but a solid value.
