Turning a bright yellow straw color. Still has the classic "petrol" nose. Good acidity but developing a slightly tart grapefruit flavor. Still, very enjoyable after a hot day on the golf course!

Thought this was better at room temperature than chilled. Medium bodied, marked by low acidity, medium minerality, and notes of lemon zest and oyster shell. Dry yet not drying on the palate. An excellent buy.

Bright straw appearance. Crisp, vibrant, and seamless, displaying petrol aromas and flavors of stonefruit, green apples, pears, wisps of lime, a shale/slate mid-palate, and a touch of grapefruit on the minerally finish. Impeccably clean and balanced with the perfect amount of acid. This pays homage to Riesling's Mosel roots while expressing Yakima Valley's terroir. Highly recommended.

PnP. Medium straw in color. Nose dominated by classic petrol notes, but lacking in other qualities I would expect from a Riesling. Rich mouthfeel, slightly lacking in acid and missing the mineral notes I love in a nice Mosel. Got it at a great price (sub $8), but would not buy again. Fairly dry...about a 2 (of 10) on my personal Riesling sweetness scale.
Tasted in a Riedel Vinum Chianti Classico glass.

Slighly off dry but not sweet. Nose, as mentioned, has a ripe tree fruit and flowery aroma. Palate is pear and apple with a touch of citrus. Medium weight and medium short finish. Not a high acid wine.

Very nice drier riesling. Has a really nice fruit/floral nose that leads you to believe that it's going to be a lot sweeter than it actually is. On the palate it transitions from being semi sweet on the front to drier on the mid and back side. Found to be a more complex white wine that's enjoyable to determine what you're tasting. Excellent wine to drink by itself or to pair with a variety of foods that it'll compliment instead of dominate.

A lovely dry, fresh, juicy, well-balanced riesling from Washington. Glorious nose, with white flowers (gardenias), peaches, lemons and limes; dry, but not bone dry; good acidity, but balanced perfectly with juicy fruit flavors (peaches in particular), lemons and limes; long, zippy finish, highlighted by limes, lemon zest and minerals. Worth seeking out.

Good for the price point. Found it a little too floral (perfume character) when paired with Asian food though. Preferred it on its own.

Drinking it ice-cold. In fact, it's a slushy. Very refreshing!
