This is lean and a little green -- but in a good way! Lightish in body despite 13.5% abv, it is wonderfully lifted and aromatic, really pretty, with red fruits, floral undertones, a hint of stems, and just a little sous bois. Grip is very present but well-integrated. This wine screams for food. Delicious & wonderful QPR.

Really appealing Kabinett-style riesling made from Boundary Breaks fruit. Excellent acidity, bit of a peachy, fruit cocktaily palate with well-integrated sweetness. Really enjoyable and would return to it again.

Excellent acidity. Nose gets better with time open -- goes from somewhat neutral to the nice pithy, citrusy aromatics that make young riesling so appealing. Excellent acidity, but palate would benefit from a bit more fruit & concentration. Savory & herbal undertones carry through on the finish. Would be interested to revisit this after it has been in bottle a bit longer (not to age, necessarily, but to settle down).
