I rarely mention the bottle label, but you can’t help but notice the beauty of this one, which depicts the four soil types from which these riesling grapes originate: marl, limestone, clay, and sandstone. Although this wine has 3.2 g/l of residual sugar, you won’t notice it with this wine’s brilliant acidity and striking minerality. Stainless steel production fermentation and aging allows lemon verbena and tart citrus to shine on the nose and palate, making this a perfect match for seafood, especially shellfish. (sample)

Citrus, underripe tropical, salt, caramel, bit O' flowers, roasted pork?, tiny bit of rs. Umami. Damn good.

Tart acid, bracing lemon and minerality, not much complexity but still enjoyable, especially with heavy blue cheese. "Pithy" @Carter Hallman

First rate dry Riesling that is rich and medium-full bodied but very nicely balanced. Complex fruit and earthiness but smooth. 2014 has some life left.

Apple and pear on the nose, nice acidity on the mouth, tastes of pineapple and guava. Nice mineral finish
