Aromatics are incredible. Apples & apricots for days. Showing some secondary fermentation w/ a little spritz, but just a minor distraction. Bright, acidic w/ a great mix of tree & stone fruit. Evergreen vineyard brings Eroica & Kung Fu Girl & I like this better than both of those.

Nice! Proper Riesling (rubber hose) nose, strong fruit but still dry

I rarely drink Riesling, but I had this at a tasting and was pleasantly surprised. Not too sweet at all. Ideal for a salad course.

Better than expected. Bright, off dry, and redolent of minerals. Some melon underneath. Long finish but some bitter notes.

Doesn't live up to the hype but it's a solid Riesling at a great price point. Too sweet for me but the honey sweetness is pretty typical

Mediocre and over rated. Lacks depth and complexity. Sweet to the point of cloying and single dimensional on the palate.
