Flavors of pineapple and tropical fruits. Little acidity, but aromas of rubber and petroleum.

Wow. Opened this without much expectation for a casual Friday glass; I stopped dead. It's fantastic! Melon, vanilla, with a nice acidity. Really pleasant.

Tasted this blind and surprisingly it was awesome! Lemon lime, apples, peach and minerality. M+ acid. Finish a bit short though.

Decent dry Riesling, especially at the price. Some nice fruit flavors, like melon. It had a weird soapy element in the nose and palate that turned me off, but that dissipated as it opened up.

Citrus and green apples with a slight mineral taste and medium dry. Very nice.
