A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Huge value here & It is not a profound, nuanced, mineral-driven riesling, but it is intense, juicy, fresh and exceedingly bright. Very fresh acidity balances some sweetness, creaminess and the ripeness of the vintage. Expect yellow plum-pear, grapefruit and vague petrol and spice. It s so zesty and mouthwatering; with excellent length. Score: 91 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, March 2012) Price $ 17.95
