May 13, 2016 - No real change in the last year. Best part is the nose, which indicates that it has some age on it; still get petrol and apricot. Palate and finish are simple, where did the complexity on the nose go?
February 10, 2015 - Seattle Wine Group - Feb 2015 Tasting - Theme: Riesling -- Dry & Dessert (Amaroso Room - Wine Storage Bellevue): Wine C
Nose of petrol and lemon curd. Palate starts sweet like pineapple juice, then gets drier. Very simple palate. Finish was short and not memorable. Of all the entries, this one I had the least notes. Nothing really much to say about it.
My rank: 6th out of 8
Group rank: 6th out of 8
February 10, 2015 - Straw color. Petrol and apricot on the nose. Medium sweet, fruit but not distinct like an apple fruit leather, then goes dry. Finish long, but mostly acidic with a hint of sweetness, not overly distinct. Finished 6th out of 8 at CT Seattle Riesling tasting. I was disappointed in it.
May 19, 2014 - Pineapple, apricot, raspberry mellowed in a way that is a tiny bit sherry-like.
April 11, 2012 - Actually consumed in 2011.Really funky smell of subtle pears and something chemical. Spouse liked it because the fruit was not overpowering. Nice mineral vs. fruit balance for me. Very food friendly wine as I had it with pasta and veg alfredo with oil substituted for cream sauce.
May 23, 2011 - solid. well-priced. showing well and with a few years. quaffable - should of bought way more...
April 20, 2011 - Pop and pour. Pale yellow gold. Restrained nose just beginning to yield some petrol, but primarily floral with some citrus fruit. Youthful palate shows more Kabinett qualities of lime and green apple, but some sweeter apricot notes manifest once the wine warms up a bit. Wonderfully acidic and refreshing, this one has years in front of it. Long, refeshing finish draws you back to the glass immediately.
Great stuff!
March 14, 2011 - Medium bodied, nice apple juice and spice character. Starts sweet and ends with good cleansing acidity. Not sure this is showing any age at all. Superb with spicy soup.
October 5, 2010 - Medium golden straw color. Nice nose of peaches, ripe pear, red apple, tropical fruit, and a heady diesel note. Creamy palate with similar fruit flavors and a medium length finish. Slightly sweet, but balanced. Can't complain at this price.
May 24, 2010 - Nice with Thai food, but not particularly memorable. Decent QPR for $20.
