Aug 7th, 20212017 vintage. Seems like there's a bit of Brett-like Bandaid going on. Definitely dry. White rocks, green pear, yellow apple skin, lemon oil, lemon flesh.

Dec 30th, 2017Another solid vintage of this consistently good FLX dry Riesling. Aromas fresh herbs and yellow apple. Hints of white flowers as it opens up. Flavors of golden delicious apple, Asian pear, lemon/lime, almonds and orange zest. Crisp acidity, smooth texture and bone dry. Solid value. Thanks for saving me a glass, Chris B!
