  Wow. One of the best rieslings I have ever tasted. Bought right after release at the winery. Aged to a soft and warm palate full of honeyed sweet lime and white cherries. Incredible tension between ripe aged texture and immense freshness and lifted acidity. Very long, saline finish. Superb!

  Medium yellow. Complex aromas with botanical herbs. Full bodied, acidic, dry, and powerful. Almost like a Gruner in being so herbal. Dry stone fruit behind all of this, long, earthy finish. Outstanding young wine with terrific potential.

  Rich, tart, taut, precise. Big in a good way. Ridiculously good. Now, tomorrow, forever

  Bright, intensely fruited, and so balanced. Medium-viscous texture and sharp minerals add to the intrigue. Delicious.

  Herbal/ lemon grass nose with spice and a brazen stoniness, which carries into the palate. Palate is broad and lush on entry with concentrated acidity coming through in the middle. Finishes light and clean with good length. The quality of the juice is outstanding.
  Excellent - Drink or Hold
