I do not understand how this is less than $20. It is insane. Benchmark FLX dry Riesling.

Superb Riesling. Poured this at a blind tasting in Aspen not long ago with Loosen, Loimer & Zind Humbrecht and it easily held its own.

Aromas of key lime, granny smith apple, and baking spices on this unctuous nose. Semi-sweet on the palate with pear, granny smith and those baking spices appearing again. Really good energy and balance on the wine with 40+ seconds of length. Hang on to this one at least another 7-8 years if you can.

Half bottle. Light gold color. Nose dominated by petrol and maybe some melons and pineapples. Wine is very deep and more sweet than acidic. On the younger side with potential.

This opened up nicely after 20 mins+, even got some subtle lilac tones.

Riesling on Thanksgiving is turning into a tradition!

Better than previous bottles. Nicely balanced between petrol, sweetness, and acidity. Wine could have used a little more zip, but high quality. Paired well with cheese and shrimp cocktail.

Always solid. Rounder than usual but not overly sweet. Could use some more zip.
