Arcturos Riesling
Citrus, pear, Granny Smith, buttery /creamy mouthfeel, might do with a bit more acidity but pleasant overall.

Aug 11th, 2014Medium dry, high acidity, medium bodied. Old gold color. Flavors of yellow peach, apricot and a hint of citrus. Nose opens with petrol. As it breathes, white flowers, honey and toasted almonds. Bought at the winery. Really impressed with how well this aged.

Jul 3rd, 2020Had 2016 in December of 2019. Enjoyed it more once it warmed to room temp from cellar temp. Not a ton of citrus but some pear and melon. Brought back from a visit to Traverse City. Was better than I expected.

Oct 1st, 2016Nice flavor, a bit too sweet and a little short on acid. Better choices in Mich Riesling.
