2018. Best Zeppelin I’ve had in a long time. Ripe, bouncy fruit. Good acid and length. A simple wine done very well.

Off-dry, great acid. Juicy.

Clear light yellow color. Nose of pomes and underripe peaches. Some good mineral added to the mix on the palate. Firm acidity from entry through finish. As someone else said, a great intro to German Riesling.

Such a great German riesling intro. The nose could have been more intense but the palate was explosive and the finish really hung on

Nice combination of stone fruit and sour lemons on the palate. Smells of lemons and flowers

Bought this for my sister-in-law who likes off-dry to sweeter Rieslings. Pleasant, loaded with apples, peaches, and some citrus but too sweet for me.

Mineral taste right off the top and so sweet. Tastes of green apples and some citrus. Not my favorite but will drink if I have to. Ok so this got better with food. I did a baked avocado with spicy grapefruit chermoula and wine seemed less sweet and more mineral in a good way. So I think paired with good, spicy food, this could work.

Very juicy and bright. Sweet, but the lingering acidity cuts it nicely.

Ripe fruit. Moderately sweet with balanced acidity. Very decent for $12 a bottle. 2015
