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

  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

  @ 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.

  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.

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