88 Points

Tuesday, May 19, 2020 - S: Pale Lemon
N(still a bit cold): a Bit subdued; Medium intensity of petrol, kerosene, peach, lemon, honeysuckle; fresh and bright, but not terrible intense
P:High acid(not as overtop like the Jim Barry, Clare Valley), med- body, a slight petrol bitterness giving impression of alcohol like some Alsace Rieslings, but it's not alcohol. Subdued fruit on the back on of the petrol/bitterness(which I like/expect). Ripe peach, lemon; not much else.
A good wine with simple flavors and aromas. I nice uniqueness of the petrol and not so strong to throw out of balance. Lack complexity, concentration, and the refinement of better quality Rieslings. For 15 dollars it does a nice job of a Alsace Riesling.
Note: Previous scores are too harsh on this wine. It's a very solid B
