Strong minerality and good acidity. Paired very well with grilled swordfish. Would buy again.

This wine was stunning to me. I had heard that it was a great QPR, but this exceeded those expectations easily. Medium-bodied, racy acidity, gorgeous fruit, and a long finish. I immediately went online and purchased more as soon as the bottle was done. Drinks just as well with food as it does without it.

A nose of juicy berries, molasses, and chocolate. On the palate, jammy fruit with a nice hint of spice. Excellent. Definitely a re-buy at its price point.

A bit young, but showed what it could be in a year or two. If I had another bottle, I would hold. Nice wine overall.

Ever-so-slightly sweet, medium acidity, a little hot going down. A decent bottle, but I prefer rieslings from Mosel more.

Enjoyable, but nothing special. I prefer rieslings with more acidity and minerality. Not a re-buy for me.

Beautifully drinking. Rich, firmly acidic fruit andd buttered bread coalesce into a seamless experience. Excellent.

This was a pure "wow" wine. I had a taste the night the bottle was opened and it was fairly closed, albeit showing promise. The bottle was preserved using inert gas cans. Eight days later, I had another glass; the wine had opened up immensely. No formal notes, but there were loads of dark fruit and mouthwatering acidity. The wine was silky smooth on the palate. Well balanced. I'm really excited that I have 3 more in the cellar. I'll definitely wait a few years before opening the next bottle, but when I do, I'll be expecting greatness. Awesome.

No tasting notes, but I remember strong notes of cranberry and raspberry on the palate. Juicy wine that I very much enjoyed. Nice warm-weather sipper.

No tasting notes, but I remember being sufficiently impressed by this wine. Would buy again for the value.

Popped and poured; drank around cellar temperature. Not very aromatic. On the palate, gorgeous flavors of butterscotch and caramel. Great VA dessert sipper.

Popped and poured. A little closed upon opening, but opened up around 15 minutes later. Very aromatic; floral and earthy with hints of chocolate. Showed dark berries on the palate with moderate acidity. Medium-bodied. Almost reminded me of a pinot noir. Very impressive.

Not Rated - Drank for brunch, made Mimosas out of this. For what it's worth, the mimosas were excellent.

Great everyday Riesling for the price. Loads of tropical fruit on the palate, great acidity, medium-short finish. Almost a thirst-quenching wine. Would buy again.

Nice wine, popped and poured. Strong notes of grapefruit on the nose and palate. Crisp acidity, off-dry. Would buy again.

My second bottle, this one was better than the first. This wine grows on you.

Popped and poured. After about an hour in the glass, the wine really opened up. Enjoyable wine, if unspectacular.

Good wine, took a little bit to open up. Drank over 2 days, the second day was much better than the first. After about an hour on day 1 the fruit really came forward.
