D’Arenberg’s 2010 The Dry Dam Riesling provides a good intensity of grapefruit juice, chalk dust, yuzu zest and lime leaf aromas. The dry, light bodied palate is very crisp with just enough residual sugar to balance (8.5 grams per liter), a good concentration of citrusy flavors and a long finish. It should drink from now, for those that love that primary purity, to 2016+ for those who prefer some evolution. Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com

Unlike most Australian Rieslings, this one has a hint of residual sugar left in it, giving it an appealing plumpness on the midpalate. Ripe apple and sweet peach notes are balanced by zingy lemon-lime acids on the finish. Ready to drink now.——J.C.(4/1/2012)—— 88
