A smooth and well balanced riesling which reminded me of a kabinett without as much mineral. Flavors of honeyed lemon and a touch of mineral and balancing acidity. Drink this quite chilled.
This paired very well with jambalaya, adding a floral and fruit element. Me - 91, Wife - 93

Served with Turkey Tacos, good wine but not great. Slightly sweet, a bit high on the acidity but helps it cut through spicy foods. Citrus with some stone fruit on the nose and palate. Hasn't seemed to evolve much in the short time it has been stored, I would say drink up if you have it I'm not sure this one is going anywhere.

Quite a lime pith and mineral nose. Some developing aromas of petrol and a hint of honey; actually off dry, nice flavour with some herbal notes. A little short but good style.

From winemaker Armin Diel. Slight German nose of light I won't say petrol, let's go oil. Not particularly aromatic though. Palette of honey, orange zest, dry style, great acidity for New World, slight mineral finish. Very nice QPR. 93 from Wine and Spirits.

Very dry Riesling here with notes of petrol rising above the more heady tropical fruit. Supple, full midpalate is relieved by keen acidity which makes this wine a tremendous pairing with spicy foods.

This wine is uber-unique to me. Brilliant, pale yellow hue - nearly the color of champagne sans bubbles. Aromas of crisp Fuji apple with a hint of cotton candy and a slightly grassy character. Bright, dominant, though not bracing acidity. In the mouth, there's a front end sweetness that quickly segues to that acidic mid-palate. What's so bizarre is that the long finish reminds me more of a Sauvignon Blanc; fresh cut grass & hay. I like it!

Off-dry, with wonderful acidity for the first hour, and strong minerality throughout. Restrained nose with hints of powdered sugar and ethyl alcohol. Flavors of citrus, lime, jasmine, and faint Turkish delight on the palate. 12.3% ABV. Easily one of the better domestic Rieslings. Made in the style of a German Riesling, but easily identifiable as New World with its flinty, crowd-pleasing characteristics.

I tasted this with friends at the Woodinville tasting room on 11/4/12. It was consistent with my 6/2/12 note…clean fresh and fragrant bouquet of floral, peach, spice and mineral aromas with a palate that follows. 90+

This is a great riesling. pale yellow in color, solid match of acidity with sweetness that they blend together well and neither overpowers the other. Bright and crisp taste, very much enjoyable on a nice warm summer day in Seattle!

Friends and I tasted this at the Woodinville tasting room on 6/2/12. It had a clean, fragrant bouquet of floral, peach, pear, spice and mineral aromas. The palate was crisp, clean and a tiny bit sweet with flavors that followed the nose. 90+

I enjoyed this wine a lot. Think slightly sweet-acidic-minerality. For $17 a great bargain. Bring some to thanksgiving dinner

Green Apple and grapefruit. Delicate, soft effervescence. Foodie.

Sweet light peaches on the nose hint of pear. Peaches, pears, lychee and other fruits with a citrus off dry finish. Good acidity, crisp.

Great acidity, and almost a savory mouthfeel with great balance. Long finish with a hint of sweetness, although I'd call this wine off-dry for sure.
