January 4, 2023 - Only just getting into these, and unfortunately it's showing a little long in the tooth, so I'll check in on another sooner than later. Cork came out very easily to the point of thinking it was broken as well.
Deep golden color. Smells like oxidized apple, lemon, pear, bit metallic, bit honeyed. Full body, medium acid and finish, faded fruit, and flavors of lemon and oxidized apple.
August 13, 2022 - light tawny colour; fairly dry, very delicate floral nose with hint of white peach and vague suggestion of petrol, slightly piquant; good acidity; simple but pleasant fruit with clean finish
October 14, 2019 - Very good once again. Impressive new world riesling, and can age well.
July 7, 2018 - Golden amber yellow. Lemon and petrol nose. Tart lime, pineapple, spices, good acid, and a tangy, mineral-infused finish. That green apple showed up at the very end.
June 8, 2017 - Green apple. Pretty dry. Probably served too warm. Decent but....
December 16, 2016 - Nice green apple spectrum flavors. Okay length, seemed to have slightly less acid than the fruit demanded, otherwise a fine effort that did well with a very spicy shrimp dish.
December 2, 2016 - Two cases of this juice, and then came summer, and then went summer, and after four of us sipping and thoroughly enjoying this bottle there remain but...ugh...two. How sad. All I can ask myself is why didn't I buy four cases...sigh...
Tart green apple, maybe pear, a hint of ripe peach, something tropical like mango or maybe papaya (I'm one of those allergy ridden people), and crisp acidity. A long finish makes every sip last.
I'm not really a white wine person, but this is a rare one I love on a warm evening. Or by the fire...where it's warm.
November 23, 2016 - No rating as this bottle may have been slightly off. Very apple like and bitter.
August 13, 2016 - Consistent with previous bottle. Just loaded with lime zest and flowers with great acidity and a touch of RS. Satisfies both the wine geeks and drinkers. Fantastic riesling.
June 4, 2016 - You would never guess this was from Washington.
Nose opens up with some petrol fumes and a new sneaker rubber smell. Fresh bright lime, fennel seeds, and maybe even some almond/walnuts.
Good acidity and very layered flavors. Limes, stones, salt water. ginger peel, grapefruit pith on the long and dry finish.
Very complex for a $10 bottle. 5 more left, so will revisit and compare notes again.
