July 5, 2013 - Light straw, light citrus nose. Off dry with good acid to balance the sugar. Lemon drop with a very slight mineral, smoky stones. Pared well with Asian BBQ chicken. Luscious if you like a slightly sweet wine verging on dessert style. The sugar and acid will give a long life.

March 26, 2012 - Clear platinum, light gooseberry/kiwi fruit nose. Off dry, good body with residual sugar, smooth with enough acid for an Auslese style. Blended with a tart wine for a better balanced Riesling for casual drinking. If You do not like it sweet, it is not for you.

August 25, 2011 - Clear, very light yellow/green. Demi sec, tart and sweet, low alcohol with good balance. Good fruit, kiwi, honeydew melon, lemon. Smooth, not cloying with enough acid to balance the sugar for a nice sweet/sour sipper, not a guzzler. More dessert style like an Auslese.
