Community Tasting Notes 7

    July 17, 2023 - Very pale straw swirling in the glass, nose is poached pear, white peach, and white florals. The palate, the same but heavier on the peach with a honeyed sweetness crossing the middle, tangerines, wet stones, light on acidic zing yet holds a strong finish down the back; smooth and fruit focused. All in all a solid pairing with a spicy chx Tikka that I just destroyed and sipping away on the wine far after. Liking the value. Has years to run.

    May 2, 2022 - Ginger herb lime soda with enough sour lemon to keep vibrant and focused. The sweetness is there but it shows well. Better after 2-3 hours.

    August 1, 2021 - Quite fruity and not as energetic as some of the better 19 kabi

    July 12, 2021 - Disappointing. What happened to the acid?! Bueller? Bueller? Plenty of ripe orchard fruit (leaning towards peaches/apricots), and it's tasty enough, but I like my riesling to have a bit more zip -- okay, a lot more.

    May 10, 2021 - Tasted blind. Bright, light gold color. Aromas of bruised yellow apple, tropical melon, orange blossom, honeysuckle, hints of wet stone & rocky soil. The sweet side of off-dry on the palate, adding flavors of luscious nectarine and yellow peach, with honeycomb and gingerbread spices. The fruit is bright, but the acid is only moderate, not really cutting through the round edges. Moderate complexity and length.
