Wine Enthusiast
Opening with a lovely mix of apricot, green apple and petrol, this wine offers enviable structure, complexity and balance. Lush on the midpalate, it never loses focus, retaining mineral-like stoniness and linear, fresh acidity

James Suckling
Intense nose of lime zest, hay and candied lemon with just a whiff of petrol-like, mature-riesling aroma (entirely normal for 5 years old). Then, a remarkably clean palate for the warm region with a lovely interplay of racy acidity, discreet tannins and mineral character. Long, crisp finish, of a kind that’s light years removed from the Napa norm. Drink or hold.

Jeb Dunnuck
Lots of classic lychee, lime, and white grapefruit notes emerge from the 2016 Riesling, which is medium-bodied and has a kiss of sweetness, balancing acidity, and a great finish. This beautiful, outstanding Riesling is going to age nicely for at least a decade.
