Not dry, but nice. Shy aromas, medium body. Good acidity. Sorbate?

This says it is dry but there’s definitely a touch of RS, which is exactly what I expected and wanted on a hot humid NYC day. Incredibly bright wine with a nice acidic snap.

Single vineyards and such a gem! Very expressive once it's warms up. Petrol initially hits, followed loads of fruit. Canned peaches, apricots, honey, green apple and camomile make for great bouquet. Wine shows a touch of RS on the tip of the tongue, then unrelenting acid that lingers for minutes. A domestic Riesling that can hold its own against old world producers.

Tantalizing and delicious from start to finish. Stirs the nose with petrol fumes, fleshy ripe peaches, and ripe apricots. The initial rush of sugar hits your palate, followed by buckets of tart green apples, peaches, and a velvety, encompassing, lengthy, and dry finish.

Pear, apple, lemon, hay, limestone and hints of petrol & stone fruit. Electric acidity yet good balance.
