Brilliant. Drink now or age it but it's worth the Search.

Dark gold color with green hues. Melon, apricot, and honey on the nose. Thicker and fuller bodied than most Riesling’s I’m used to. I would say this is close to a Chard on the Riesling scale. Doesn’t hold a candle to the Finger Lake Riesling’s I love so much! Maybe the age is hurting it but it’s fairly sweet and not that crisp.

Yellowish-green strong straw color. Faint toast aroma, but faint. Lemon and pineapple. Pretty rich, with bitter tones, fairly dry. Pretty good.

The classic Alsace Riesling nose and mineral-driven body. Showing it's age a little with some richer lemon and orange marmalade flavors. RS is low and the acid is still strong. 2007 vintage. Worth a try. Price isn't too bad either.

Delicious. Beautiful gold color. Floral and fruity nose with typical vinyl overtones. Elegant palate follows the nose but adds in apricot nectar and is supported by good acid. The alcohol is so well balanced it does not interfere with the experience. Long finish keeps flavors alive.
