Pale lemon in color.
Petroleum nose with limes and peaches, yet too heavy on the petrol.
Medium bodied and creamy with high acidity.
All dry on the palate with limes, diesel, pictures and grapefruits.
The finish is nice with lemons at the end.
Refreshing, balanced and tangy but too much diesel on the palate for my taste. Still, a nice Riesling from Columbia Valley.
12% alcohol by volume.

Heavy petrol on the nose . Honey and apricot flavors. Too sweet. I like my Riesling dry

Aug 11th, 2017A little on the sweet side, but a great, easy drinking Riesling. Doesn't need much accompaniment.

Feb 6th, 2017Not too sweet, very light, a bit muted on its own but picks up the flavor of a well seasoned meal nicely.

Spicy, but not too spicy with just a hint of fruit, good but nothing to write home about

Started offer rough with strong tannins. Developed over a day, didn't get much fruit expression beyond a heavy jam. Lots of spicy and earthy flavors.
