  March 16, 2014 - Time to drink up, showing it's age, this one was not designed to have lasted this long. A dry style of Riesling. Plenty of mouth puckering acid. The fruit is starting to fail, but still showing some honeyed peach and mango with a touch of grapefruit. Does not have the heft and viscosity of those Riesling's from Germany. Very dry finish.

  June 13, 2011 - Classic riesling nose witha hint of petrol, lemony apples. On the palate a lovely zing of acidity balances the appley fruit. Very deliciosu and enjoyable, lacks complexity or an individual personalty, but no faults, well made.

  December 24, 2010 - I'm getting a lot of rubber on the nose, along with green apple, pear, and a touch of banana. Described as "semi-dry", but tasting it makes me think "semi-sweet" (glass half empty?), and as a result, it's not my favorite, though not terrible. It's a light wine with decent acidity, and notes of green apple, peach and banana. Had it with my white Zinfandel drinking mom, so probably perfect for the moment, but I doubt I'll repeat, unless in a similar situation.

  June 1, 2010 - Deliciously drinkable. Lots of peach, melon and ripe orchard fruits. Medium-bodied in the mouth. Complex for the money, and a perfect off-dry Riesling.
