Community Tasting Note

    March 20, 2021 - Lovely treat for the first Saturday of spring.

    Color of a pirate's treasure chest and aroma that sings with the angels.

    The latter is a wonderful mix of honey, yellow flowers, clementine, honeydew melon, petroleum and a little bit or rosemary and flint. I know that is an awful lot of descriptors, but I could really just inhale it all day without even drinking.

    The flavor, while very good, is actually a little bit of a let-own after the aroma. Still has high acidity and quite a lot of fruit - clementine dominated, although that fruit tastes a little "unripe" with the help of the petrol, olive oil and herbal flavors. Quite a bit of minerality. Surprisingly full body for a riesling. Finish is medium-medium plus.
