Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Funk or linalool with a hint of diesel in nose. Crisp, semi dry, lemon flavor followed by some peach and floral-chrysanthemum character, austere lemon finish with almost no skin astringency, mineral aftertaste. Later, a creamy finish emerges. This is the Riesling to serve people who say they don’t care for Riesling. It just might change some minds.
