About the Wine: I reviewed the previous vintage of this Riesling and liked it, but I've learned the hard way that wines change drastically from one year to the next. Last year's favorite can be this year's dishwater.
About THIS Wine: It is clear in the glass. Pear nectar dominates the nose and that flavor delivers on a very nice palate with a lasting finish. The wine is what I would describe as medium sweet, definitely sweet, but not overpoweringly so and other flavors come through.
Drinking This Wine: This is a very nice sipping wine. It would also work with southwestern chicken or other spiced poultry dishes.
Overall Impression: Very few Rieslings get the balance of sweetness and other flavors right, but this one pulls it off well. This wine is good for the price.
