Past it's prime, but still nice enough. I am one if those red wine drinkers that's not afraid to admit I like Riesling. When done well it's wonderfully complex wine, crisp and acidic.
The California Rieslings usually fall well short of the German and Alsatian examples. This one is a decent representation not too sweet, off-dry style. Some floral and citrus on the nose. White fruits, honey, and citrus. Light finish. Last bottle, would try again with more recent vintages.

Still has some life in it, not overly sweet, good acidity. Classic riesling flavors of apples and pears on the finish. Like prior reviews, Alsatian style.
