Mysteriously smoky on the nose, with an earthy sheen of crushed stones and steel. Just off-dry and fairly lean in style, it’s surprisingly penetrating on the palate, with crisp lime and white peach flavors that linger. ——A.I.(4/1/2012)—— 86

The concentrated apple juice aromas on this off-dry Riesling have a dark, caramelized sugar note that carries through on the palate as well. Bracing acidity and a tart, green apple finish would make this wine an excellent accompaniment to skillet browned pork chops or chicken braised with apples. ——A.I.(4/1/2011)—— 85

Austere mineral notes open this off-dry number. The crisp, light-bodied palate is infused with stone fruits and orange rind and finishes up with an intriguing note of green plums.——W.E.(12/15/2009)—— 85
