Michael T. Zoppo Likes this wine:
January 12, 2017 - Just 11.5% ABV, this is wonderfully balanced. A stony nose with a hint of tropics, and a bright palate echoing the nose, but adding some pear, too. This is definitely dry, but there is a lot of extract here, giving it a sense of body. Minerally finish. Very good Riesling.
