Wine Review: This pale yellow colored wine opens with a soapy mild green apple and pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, nicely balanced, and shows some nice viscosity. The flavor profile is a gentle and pleasant blend of ripe pear and lime. The finish is pleasantly sweet and enjoyable. This wine is one of the best bargain Rieslings that we covered this year. It would pair quite well with a sharp cheese course. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Exudes flavors and aromas of ripe apples, pears, peaches and citrus, with floral aromas. Its slight sweetness makes it a perfect match with aged cheeses, chicken and cream sauces.
