Wine Review: This terrific pale yellow colored Riesling is listed as dry, but it is more semi-dry than dry. It opens with an attractive gently scented floral bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, well balanced, ripe, and polished. The flavor profile is a delicious tangerine with hints of pineapple, minerality, and green grapes. The finish is pleasant and refined. I would suggest just drinking this gem on its own while swinging on the porch this fall. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The brilliant bouquet of fresh citrus and apple leads into a refreshingly fruit forward palate and a lush, bold finish.
