Dreadful! A sad imitator of Karo's Light Corn Syrup.

Nice light riesling, couldn't get the app to edit the wine. Would buy again, my friends who like sweet wine really enjoyed it

Green apple with a lovely acidic backbone. Tea leaves aroma. Pleasant Sunday sipper.

Granted, I'm not a Riesling fan, but this 2014 has almost no redeeming qualities. Sweet, chalky, melony... with no backbone. Lackluster.

Better after the second day. Mild sweetness. After chilling let it warm up a bit and flavor improved.

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.
