January 15, 2009 - Easy drinking, pure riesling. Plenty of ripe tree fruit, citrus zest, powdered stone, a touch of reduction. Nice firm acid and very gentle sweetness. No great concentration or length but this goes down so easy. Drink or hold. Screwcap.

September 1, 2007 - Light, austere Riesling with minerals and racy citrus in off-dry Kabinett style. I prefer their Kabinett.

July 24, 2007 - A little spritz, lime slate apple nose, lots of minerals. Nice bottle, good match with sauteed shrimp and Walla Walla sweet onions.

June 11, 2007 - Sweet tart nose with more slate than prior bottles. Still pretty spritzy. Green apple and citrus rind, malty finish. Nice quaffer.

June 2, 2007 - Snappy little wine. Drank with a spicy Indonesian curry and it fit perfectly. The nose was sweet fruits and citrus. Palate is off-dry with white floral notes and a nice bit of acidity. This is a wine made for food.

3/24/2007 (link)(Zilliken "Butterfly") Very chalky mineral wine with great purity and the sensation of chewing minerals on the palate.
