When I first smelled this, I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh, slightly sweet, slightly floral and honey aromas. But on the palate it is rather indistinct in its sweetness - it could really use some acid to balance it out - and there is some dull bitterness in the background that is just not good.

Served @ 11c/52f (12.0% abv, Screwtop - $13) with Baked Salmon. Nice clear light yellow in the glass. Citrusy and floral on the nose. Light bodied but with a little heft. Some sweetness evident but not exactly semi-sweet; maybe from fruitiness as much as residual sugar. Refreshing and well-rounded with a pleasant finish. A good accompaniment with food, or for just casual sipping on its own. Spouse and Daughter Heartily Endorsed. A good value @ $13 Costco.
I did a comparison taste with a 2019 Kung Fu Riesling (WA State) that I previously enjoyed (88 Pts). The Kung Fu seemed slightly effervescent, while the A to Z was a tad more fruity. Both excellent values at Costco.

Color - Golden yellow Nose - Apricots, peaches, honeysuckle and pear Palate - Peaches, nectarines, honeysuckle with a hint of green apple. Mild to medium acid, decent length finish and leaning to the dry side but some RS in background.

Amber in the glass. Restrained fragrance with peaches, stone fruits and toffee. Full-bodied, balanced with a sweet enticing leading edge. A good buy.
