  From 2 fantastic looking half bottles, this wine had a deep yellow center with clear rims. The high- intensity nose showed pear, lemon, marzipan, and minerals.
  
  In the mouth, this wine immediately packed a punch. It was rich and ripe but gorgeously balanced and integrated. As it aired, the wine became more focused on its mineral elements and the finish became much longer. It had great acidity, awesome mineral detail, and incredible length.
  
  This wine had very little botrytis. To me this was the quintessential riesling: ripe, powerful, balanced, mouthwatering acidity, lingering minerality, and amazing length. Awesome!

  Citrus, grapefruit driven. Prominent Sauvignon blanc that finishes just a little sweet. A real pleasure that's drinkable before or after dinner.
