Stone fruit and a bit of petrol on the nose, nice sweetness and acidity on the tongue. Short finish, not enough complexity to mean anything. Decent enough to buy cheap and enjoy cold.

This has aged beautifully! Tastes like a Phalz spatlese.

Very nice, zesty wine with flavours of fresh fruit and citrus. Bouquet has a surprising whiff of petrol that may be off putting but shouldn't deter.

Medium-sweetness, and doesn't have that slated taste I generally like, but it's not bad coming from the cooler climates of central Ca. ... Definite fruity taste and an acidity that is pairing nicely with tuna steaks.

Mineral floral aromas. Effervescent citrusy lemon flavor. Cools the palate.

Light, smooth, and sweet. I would have preferred a stronger taste though.
