Wine Review from Drizly: "At first sip, this mouthwatering Riesling charms with aromas of citrus blossom, nectarine and Meyer lemon. Enticing flavors of pear; pineapple and passionfruit play across the palate. Light bodied with crisp acidity, it is balanced by the perfect amount of sweetness and a refreshing fruit finish."
My Wine Review using Wine Folly: I'm on a Riesling kick. First, the smell of this wine is very warm and yeasty, like green apples. There are aromas of honeysuckle and orange blossoms. Wine Folly on page 159 describes Riesling having citrus notes of lime, lemon, citrus zest, and pink grapefruit. Upon my first sip, I definitely tasted the citrus zest. This wine has a little more acidity to it, which adds a nice component and gives it some complexity. I also heavily taste a sweet honey as a main flavor and letting the wine linger in the mouth has a more green vegetable flavor, like green apple or grass. I enjoyed this wine but I would probably would not buy it again because I did not really enjoy the acidity.
