Community Tasting Note

  • diggydan wrote: 88 points

    May 12, 2013 - Fruity, light-bodied, and moderately sweet. A good example of fresh, young, fruity/sweet riesling. A bit better, perhaps, and brighter, with more acidity.

    But: can anyone decipher for me this clap from Terry Theise? "Quiet wine, not reticent but also not chatty; quiet evening, cool, leaves burning not far away, roast is in the oven, and the book is absorbing. Slate-smoke rises in wispy curls. Few words, but all to the point."
