winemaker's notes:

This beautifully crafted Riesling greets the palate with tiers of ripe fruit flavors ranging from tangerine to crisp apple. Hints of pear, flint and orange blossom add intrigue and nuance to this elegant, impeccably balanced wine. Our 2007 Riesling was #2 on the Wine Enthusiast's top 100 Best Buys list of 2008 and in the Wine Spectator's December 31, 2009 issue, our 2008 Riesling scored 90 points and was included in their list of the Top 100 Wines of the World. Discover for yourself America's love affair with Barnard Griffin Riesling!

alcohol by volume: 11.9%
critical acclaim:

"Spice, apple, light peach and a gentle fruitiness characterize this Riesling. There are deeper notes as well, skin phenolics that add texture and earthiness. But fruit is front and center, with crisp acidity right behind it. "

Coach W - Phoenix, AZ (read all my reviews)
rating (1/15/2011):
Pale straw color with a light touch of green. Subtle notes of flint, apple & pear on the nose. The palate adds some citrus to the orchard fruit, with a hint of spice. Understated acidity and a warm, lengthy finish with flavors of apple pie & mineral. This is a well-crafted, high-quality wine, but it doesn't really do much for me. The only way I can describe it is that it seems, well, "fuzzy" to me; I prefer more focus and crispness from the varietal, a la the German model.
