I could smell blackberry before I even got my nose close. A him of plumb and maybe some sweet tobacco and earth. Very smooth. Great with a quality dark chocolate but very enjoyable on its own. Got this through WSJ introductory wine offer. Not bad for a deal introductory wine club! — 6 years ago

This beautiful Riesling was a perfect pairing for sushi and Asian cuisine. A little spark of acid with a slightly sweet finish. This was a great wine to bring home from Germany and celebrate with friends. I would definitely purchase this wine again. — 7 years ago

Nose of stone fruits and green apple. It looked@like there were some@bubbles at the first pout but a simple swirl they went away with a clear straw color. The flavor is more pear and green apple with a splash of citrus. Nice mouth feel with a simple yet lingering finish. This would go well with goat cheese or a mango salsa and chips. — 8 years ago

I love Riesling and I expected this to be on the sweeter side simply because the vineyard Inniskilin is known for their ice wine. Fragrances of late harvest pears with a bit of sweet citrus- almost pineapple in aroma and flavor. Great to pair with spicy dishes but also really nice for dessert on its own, or with a fresh fruit sorbet. — 6 years ago

Beautiful light pomegranate color. Drier mouthfeel with a great raspberry fruit forward blend that has bit of acid with a mild finish. This is great on its own but would go well with roast beef or a horseradish cheddar. I would happily share with friends. — 8 years ago

This was a new adventure for me as I have never had a Rhone. Very dry with possibly some black currant and blackberry but the flavors were hard to distinguish. However it did go amazingly well with a variety of soft cheeses I paired with the wine at a restaurant. Would pay the retail for this but there was an incredible mark up at the restaurant and wouldn't pay that price for it again. — 8 years ago

Decent wine for casual drinking. I picked up pineapple and over-ripe pear. Too sweet for me personally but my friends really enjoy it so I don’t mind keeping a bottle on hand when company drops by. — 6 years ago

What a treat! This was a celebration bottle from a coworker for a job transition and it was worth the wait. Fantastic mouth feel with subtle cherry notes. This paired amazingly well with a simple meat and cheese plate to bring out the tannins and slight acidity. Will definitely have this again! — 7 years ago

Light with a longer finish than I expected. Has a touch of raspberry and this would be an easy pairing at thanksgiving. Cute label that is a nice conversation starter. Very affordable and an easy pick for a simple pairing or glass on the patio with friends — 8 years ago

I was really disappointed in this wine after reading some pretty good reviews. Very bland flavor that had an odd aftertaste. I did notice cherry and plumb notes but the aftertaste was so strong I wouldn't buy this again. I saw they had a gold award and saw it was from 2013. — 8 years ago
