Gorgeous nose of just-ripe peach over nose-tingling rock dust minerality. Great acids make this puckery fresh. Intensely mineral in the mouth with green appley and underripe peach fruit. Long finish.

UPDATE: Over the next 2 night this wine showed great purity and kept its intense freshness. Upping score from 9.0 to 9.2. Really fine.

Moderate yellow color with a nice dry classic Riesling nose with a medium to full body with a medium length aftertaste.

A Riesling with a nice balance between sweetness, minerality, and fruit, but not memorable or particularly noteworthy. Lemon, honey, limestone. More complex than a $10 bottle, but didn't blow me away.
