Winemaker Notes
An inviting, warm nose of ripe stone fruit, such as peach and apricot, alternates with light, spicy notes and is complemented by delicate orange blossom. A delight on the palate.

James Suckling
Dark, smoky and savory, this is a very impressive GG that combines concentration and vitality on the compact, medium-bodied palate. Very long, intense finish that has wonderful freshness and precision. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
Intriguing earthiness weaves through yellow apple, thyme, oregano and dried citrus peel in this savory, layered Riesling. Density builds toward the zesty, tangy finish, which shows nice length, with oyster shell and savory appeal. Drink now through 2034.
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
