RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

The fruit here lusciously favors Persian melon, pear, quince and dark plum with an enlivening squirt of fresh lime. Black tea smokiness adds intrigue, pear skin a touch of incisive counterpoint...

93Wine Spectator

Very minerally and creamy, with plush flavors of ripe apricot, pear and spice. Enticing mint and white cherry notes linger with ginger. The lively finish features chive and candied basil accents.

90Vinous / IWC

...aromas of peach, cinnamon and wild herbs. The bright pineapple flavor is nicely framed by subtle minerality. Full-bodied yet elegant on the finish...

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
