If you're looking for a great example of the insipedness of PG, this is the bottle to go with. Just nothing of interest here. Just No, as I like to say when wines like these are brought before me. However, no major flaws, other then lack of taste, so 80.
I can't even put into my words my disgust with this wine. They label it Riesling, but then blend in Gewurztraminer. First off, why would you blend Riesling, which if you are growing it right is one of the purest grapes out there. Of course, if you blend it with Gewurz, even a small bit, the wine will smell, taste, and feel like Gewurz, and have nothing to do with Riesling. Like this wine. Take off the label, and just call it white wine, please. 60

Really rather boring. Muted nose. Medium bodied. Not a lot going on, very 1/2 note.

Richer style. Medium bodied. Not bad, but this isn't particularly good, either. What do you want to do with this?

Typical Cali Cab. Soft vanilla, some dark red fruits. Medium bodied. Softer. Tastes more like a blend, which it is. Some tannins. Ok.

Easy going. Maybe a bit too easy going, as there's no definition here. Boring. 83-84 There's ok fruit here, though.

Berry, fruit forward nose. Everyday zin. Probably the best wine in this weak line up. Not great or anything, but it's fine for a tenner.
