Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A truly delicious riesling - lots of peachy-pear fruitiness and grapefruit zing, mouthwatering acidity and stony minerality; it reads almost off-dry (yum!). Very versatile and great to sip and savour on its own!

Russell McDowell reviewed this wine as follows:

First bottle was bought to go with maple Salmon (Apr. 2016). Decided to pick up more bottles it was so good.

The Thirty Bench Wine Makers Riesling 2014 is a very nice bottle under $20. Aromas and flavours of fresh apple, lemon, pear and minerality. Tasted January 31, 2016 (90/100)

Neil Phillips rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Thirty Bench Riesling is always a delight.

Great citrus lemon nose, mandarin zest, mineral notes.

On the palate, great acidity through a long finish. Citrus abounds, with white grapefruit playing a role. Love the complex mineral notes.

Tasted November 2015.
