January 23, 2019 - This is drinking nicely. Better at “cellar temp” than fridge, and better after an hour + open. The vineyard really speaks as it warms up and broadens out - very floral and a touch honeyed. Nice acidity - stood up well to pork sausage!!

March 15, 2018 - Opened and poured. The Riesling components shining through, with excellent acidity and the touches of sweetness that make this quite charming. Initial matchstick notes blew off after air. Nice flavors of citrus, apple, quince, steel, ice. Quite nice.

August 26, 2016 - Moderste but slightly heavy nose of flowers and spice. Interesting mouth feel and flavors of fruit and floral. Relatively big finish. Much better when at 60 degree range. Rich and lovely.

December 6, 2015 - I've been a little down on A-R whites recently after a couple of underripe chards, but this was crazy good and I'm now kicking myself for not buying more of this wine from each vintage. Acidity has calmed down a bit, allowing the floral and spicy aromas to come to the fore. Could sniff this for hrs. Wonderful, mouthcoating - but not oily. A real hit with some folks who had never had A-R before, which was fun to see.

October 19, 2014 - We liked it. Bracing acidity, some notes of lemon, apple, some honeysuckle. Interesting contrast to the Bedrock wine from the same vineyard we had earlier in the week. Liked the Bedrock better.
