Did not really enjoy this wine. It does not have the correct balance of sweetness and acidity required for a good dessert wine and there was something of an "off" note in the flavor profile. Will try another bottle at some point. Glad that I didn't spend much for it.

89 Points for this half-bottle offering from NxNW because it’s a good value. Made in an ice wine style, this late harvest Riesling was sur lie aged in stainless steel for three months prior to bottling, and it’s a wine of pure varietal expression. Tons of dried apricot throughout, with a dollop of bananas foster and dried mango on the top. It’s quite viscous, but there is a piercing citrus note, like candied orange peel, or lemon drop giving lift to all of the weight packed into this charming Columbia Valley dessert wine. 38° Brix at pressing, 24.4% RS 12.5% ABV

Consumed on and off over a week (kept in the fridge), and consistent with previous notes on every night we sampled it. We've gone through several bottles of this, and every bottle has been a solid performer. A fantastic value if you can still find it at ~$6.

Solid crisp riesling. Slate on nose, nicely balanced acidity on the palate
Great value

Sharp nose of wet stone and a bit of green apple. Lemon curd and pineapple notes over a green apple base. Crisp, tight feel.
