  Not as good as remembered. Acidity has faded a bit. Slightly cloying, but

  Popped and Poured
  
  Nose: Bursting with nectarines and honeyed lychees
  
  Taste: Honey carried over to the palate, tropical fruits and lychees in syrup. Good mouthfeel and definitely a sweeter styled wine. First time trying an American Riesling so I did not expect a semi-sweet style, but it was a nice surprise.
  
  Summary: A very friendly and approachable wine, especially for the ladies. A sweet late harvest style wine that’s not too cloying but it still could have used just a dash more acid. Low alcohol content and just a fun and affordable wine to be had among friends. It paired well with dark chocolate as it gave more of the acidic bite.

  Still excellent. Semi-sweet riesling with light harvest fruit notes. Nice crisp acidity to match the light sweetness. Very drinkable, pairs very nicely with spicy East Asian or Indian dishes. Puzzled by other reviewers noting how sweet this is for a riesling; it is simply not that sweet compared to most German Spatlese or Auslese rieslings. It is semi-sweet at most. If you prefer a drier riesling, go with their "Naked" organic bottling.

  Intense Honey flavors. Sweetest Riesling I've tasted. Twist of citrus in finish, and even more honey. Not particularly complex. Sweetness is almost cloying.
