Fine and citrussy with a hint of toast and a touch of floral spice. Lemon and lime flavours abound on the palate and the finish is bone dry and thirst quenching.

Pale yellow colour. Definitely Riesling nose, but relatively simple and a little musty. Firm and dry but lacking big rich fruit. Long dry texture finish rather than oily kerosene.

Notes of apple, lime, lemon, melon and some petrol. I picked this to pair with the corned beef, cabbage and vegetable dinner (New English boiled dinner) -- and it stood up to the flavors and the salt, too. I do think this will show a little better with 6-12 months of bottle age. Good QPR for $13.
End of year party (West Windsor, New Jersey): Always a reliable wine. I wasn’t at this party so I didn’t taste the wine and don’t have any notes. I sent it because I thought it would be good at an outdoor party, on a hot day and with Chinese food.

#riesling is bone dry. Fresh lime juice with wet rock and grapefruit pith. Mouthwatering acidity and long finish. Should cellar nicely. Always good this needs a little time.

Very light w subtle flavors - unlike typical Riesling. Upon opening at cellar temp would not have blind tasted as a Riesling. After open an hour and warming almost to room temperature the flavors expanded a bit. Not a bad value.

Appearance: Clear, pale lemon. Nose: Clean, pronounced aromas of grapefruit, apple, melon rind, Meyer lemon, steel and surprisingly, with a good swirl hints of petrol appear. Palate: Dry, high acid, medium alcohol, medium bodied, pronounced intensity, flavors of grapefruit, sour apple, and melon rind dominate ending with a medium+ length finish. Conclusion: Overall a very good effort excelling in both balance and intensity with very good length. While certainly acceptable in complexity this lacks a bit in depth and structure.

Very pale straw. On the nose, Jessie and Max agreed that there wasn't a lot going on (though slightly more than the 2017 Trimbach Riesling that we compared it with). Lime and flint to start; with time, some tropical fruit and a bit of petrol came out. Very high acidity; dry but (mercifully) not bone-dry, to help counter some of the acid.

I received this 2019 vintage as part of a Wine.com Riesling tasting kit. Couldn't even relegate this wine to a spritzer, it went down the drain (which is rare in my house for a white!). Very dry with no redeeming qualities. Doesn't even taste like a traditional riesling, more like Pinot Grigio.

N: Slightly closed; Flowers with almost a creaminess to the underlying minerals with notes of spice
P: Med body; RNDISH entry with nice, almost swtish frt which SLOWLY relaxes its grip as it evolves into a quite LONG, nicely balanced, TANGY/swt finish with occasional glimpses of slightly swt frt @ the very end. I'm conflicted 'bout this as it was initially better than it was @ the end, something I found opposite to what I would have thought from a markedly acidic wine as it warmed. Also, while at times seeming to work well with our oft used Grilled Salmon, Grilled Tilapia, & TJ's Mushroom Risotto [best with the last], towards the end it was better by itself, coming off as overly acidic with the food. 🙁 Currently I can't go > my VG+ (& probably towards the lower part of that). However, POSS pushing EXC- with another 6-9 mos &/or taking into consideration the QPR of pricing like the $13.49 I pd Costco for it? Should be drinkable through '23, poss longer?

One of the more disappointing wines I have opened this year. Almost no coloration, one of the clearest wines I have had to drink in ages. Medium acidity light bodied short finish. This wine had almost no mouth feel, no nuances in aroma orFlavor. The wine did not taste off in any way , but tasted more like a three dollar Walmart cask wine. I’m very ecstatic that I don’t have any other bottles.

Pale yellow to straw green in color. On the nose, orange skin, green melon, oyster shell, no petro, medium level aromatic. On the palate, medium high acidity, medium body. Not very complex, but enjoyable.

Negociants Australia New Release Tasting 2019: Lime, pear, chalk and mineral. Light fruit body, acid at the fore. Think this needs some time to settle as it's not quite showing its usual composure.

Not as good as I recall previous vintages to be. Straightforward and spritzy, with notes of lime and white grapefruit throughout.
