Pale lemon in color.

Sweet nose of lemons, citrus, melons, red apples, minerals and white pepper
Full bodied and bold with high acidity.

Sweet on the palate with citrus, apples, pears, light vegetables, sugar, limes and honey.

Medium plus in finish with tangy limes.

This is a sweet Riesling from California. Not balanced and simple, but good for parties.
This is just too sweet for me, but everyone else loved it.

A little too sweet for me. But might be good for sipping in the hot tub, and would be great for my friends that prefer sweeter wines.

Pale yellow in color with a green hue.

Sweet On the nose with peaches, oranges, pears and tropical fruits.

Semi sweet on the plate with peaches, melons and citrus.

Full bodied and buttery, with high acidity.

Long finish with lime at the very end.

Well balanced for a $6 Riesling. Has enough acidity to balance the Risudual sugar (which is ample).

8% ABV.

Had it by the lake and even in the kayak...
Wine is all about the experience, guys, it's never about how much you paid for it. Enjoy your experience.

Not too sweet, not too dry. Nice fruity taste and very reasonable price.

Lemon in color with a green tint.

Sweet and fruity on the nose with melons, honey, citrus, mangos, bananas, lemons, Oranges, peaches, tropical fruits and kiwi.

Medium to full bodied and Crisp, with nice acidity.

Sweet on the palate, with peaches, bananas, lemons, citrus, orange zest, melons, mangoes, pears and Mandarins.

Long finish with orange at the ending.

A nice, yet simple Riesling, with enough acidity to make it well balanced.
Might be a little sweet for some, but my wife loves it, so that's all that matters...

Paired it with Florida gorgeous weather, and a pool. Sometimes, you don't need more than that.

Very sweet, almost syrupy. Tastes like pears and raisins. For the price it's right where it needs to be.
