Reviews and Ratings

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A vibrant Washington Riesling that seems simple at first and then gains complexity. Big up front aromas of Minerality, stonefruit and lemon, followed by a long list of other subtle aromas, including lime, green melon, pineapple, and petrol. The taste is lemon and pineapple. It's medium bodied, has medium-high acidity, and a long clean pineapple finish. It;s complexity makes it difficult to place in the sweetness spectrum, but I'd definitely call it "dry" at 16 g/l sugar.

I'm paring this with Wienerschitzel (with lemon, garlic mash and steamed brocolli).
Although this is off-dry, it tastes almost dry because it has such racy vibrant acidity. This is not rubbery folks: it's lovely and zesty. Medium-bodied and exciting. - Community Wine Review
