Light to medium pale yellow. Lush nose with layers of honeysuckle, apricots, citrus, lychee and slate. Medium plus acidity (7/10), well balanced and light plus to medium bodied. Crisp and fresh with a nice amount of complexity on the palate. Flavors of pineapple, white flowers, sweet melon, green apples, slate and bigger backend. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2024.

Second time having this wine. This wine is kicking off a long weekend in Nashville with me and the wife. Very good. Not giving the detailed notes I usually provide, because I just wanted to enjoy without analyzing. So I will standby my rating before. Glad I have a few more of these.

Jun 11th, 2022Medium straw in color with definitive petrol notes on the nose. I also pick up green apple, honeydew melon, jasmine, and maybe a little beeswax. Very nice off-dry Riesling with deft acidity and a pleasant finish. Paired nicely with the goat cheese and cracker lunch before Thanksgiving dinner.

Nov 25th, 2021Not very sweet. More complex than expected. Lingers. had the ‘17 in mid ‘20. apple and melon. floral on the nose. pale to golden yellow. excellent Riesling esp for those who think Riesling is too sweet.
