Very cheap from Trader Joes. Very rich for a Riesling. Stinky nose quite a bit of SO2 in this. Relative dark color. Very peachy. Not bone dry. I can not recommend this the 89 points are not deserved.
If you want to spend less and get a dry Riesling get Joseph Leitz's 'eins zwei dry' it is always good and widely available.

Deep gold suggesting really ripe grapes (though the stated alcohol suggests otherwise). Deceptively huge nose of weedy white flowers and underripe peach. Not a reflection of the weak palate which comes across mostly as water and alcohol with a peach pit soaking in it. Not that impressed right now, but will give it another look at some point.

With only a touch of residual sugar, this Washington Riesling never disappoints, with bright pear and tart Granny Smith apple flavors, clearing away the sting of spicy curry dishes.

Riesling's are usually too sweet for me, but I love this dry one by Pacific Rim!

Decent Riesling, drinkable but not incredibly remarkable

Not typically a Riesling fan, but this is nice and dry and pairs well with food. Great for the price

Fairly dry, especially for a Riesling. Some peach. Ok
