Vino Loco Does not like this wine: 86 points
January 21, 2022 - Neon yellow colour. Hints of citrus, but not much in the way of pear or granny smith apple that I enjoy in some other BC Rieslings. Off dry style, not sweet. There's an effervescence that I didn't care for, and it doesn't have any of the depth of flavours that you get from Riesling's like Tantalus or Phantom Creek.
It tastes like a wine that was made with a chemistry set as opposed to quality fruit.
Drinkable, but not buying again.1 person found this helpful 275 views

While too sweet for me, I did appreciate the hazelnut note with a few years. Agree - for the money - Tantalus is tops. -
