  More vibrant, lively and concentrated than expected. Very dark golden color. Quick hitting, intense range of fruit like Kiwi, melon, peach, green apple and citrus especially orange. Some nice minerality with the taste of wet shale. It has solid Riesling viscosity with ripe Washington State fruit. A couple of lively, hard to describe, spicy, wet earth secondary flavors. Really balanced with expressive acid and a few leaf and evergreen tree flavor influences.

  Very expressive riesling that kicks off with noticeable petroleum aromas, along with tart apple. The palate shows more ripeness, with more apple flavors dominating that are framed by zippy acidity. The texture is a touch grainy, which along with the flinty finish, adds balance to the intensity of the fruit.

  PnP. Mainly petrol on the nose with some apple, pear and honey. The palate is lean with mainly minerality and zippy acidity dominating. Fresh and vibrant but with muted fruit. It's a good value if you like that kind of wine.
