On the first sip, I thought “Woah, this is definitely a Riesling,” as this was a very sweet wine. I prefer more of a dry white wine but would recommend this to those that like Rieslings or prefer more of a sweeter wine. I mainly detected peach and pear flavors. I think this wine would taste best with a piece of cheese, maybe some cheddar or monteray jack to counteract the sweetness of a Riesling.

Excellent entry level Riesling. Not that complex, but very enjoyable.

Nice light golden color. Citrus smells that later opened up to show some pears. Feathery crisp with some sweetness. Grapefruit and a touch of apricot. Light and easy. :)

This is a good wine, especially for the price. It is a sweet wine with a crisp, fruity flavor and golden coloring. I think this will become a better wine in a few years.

Light-bodied and a bit on the sweet side, but enough acidity to counterbalance that. Fruity, with apple, citrus and pear flavors. Easy to drink either alone or with a meal. I used a bottle to poach some salmon filets and served the rest of the bottle to drink at dinner. It was wonderful.

Nice pear and apple aroma. Not overly fruity. Crystal clear pale color with a green tint. Light body. Smooth on the tongue. Crisp acid start, with the tartness of apples and slight sweetness of pears then a crisp fruity finish. A nice light Riesling.

A bit sweet for my taste but I liked the acidity. A solid choice, though there are other, more complex Reislings out there that I would choose instead.
