Sweet, but not too sweet, with a nice medium fruity taste. My biggest complaint with many rieslings is that they almost taste like that nasty fake sugar Sweet & Low crap. This one didn't, and is more than worth the price. The light apricot/apple/citrus (lots of apricot, a little apple, a little citrus) taste I picked up on wasn't subtle, either, but also wasn't overpowering. Everything about this wine was just right. Goldilocks would be impressed.

Sweet, but just the right amount of sweet. Nose of apple and mineral. Tremendous acidity and fruit balance with apple, pear and even a slight bit of honey on the very enjoyable finish. Perfect for summer. Really a great Washington wine - a definite steal for the price. If you like Riesling and you're looking for real value, you have to try this.

This wine delivers consistently, and it's a great price. Sweet, but not overly so. Well-balanced by the acidity. It used to be under $5 in the 90's, and my parents had cases and cases of it.
