"Piquant whiffs of smoke and spice accent gleaming yellow peach and nectarine in this decadently sunny yet slender dry Riesling. While medium in body, the palate is richly textured. This intensely fruity wine is welcoming young but steely and structured enough to allow it to gain complexity and depth through 2035 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Tasted in early 2020, this zesty, light-footed GG highlights exhilarating green apple, lemon and pineapple flavors edged by tangs of steel, slate and earth. A touch of honey cushions the finish, but it's still tightly wound and nervous in its youth. An invigorating wine that should gain texture and depth. Best enjoyed from 2022. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Whiffs of orange blossoms and dusty minerals introduce this intensely concentrated cream-textured wine. The palate runs quite tropical offering loads of juicy pink-grapefruit and guava flavors anchored by layers of slate and mineral tones. While moderate in alcohol, it's a voluminous and mouthfilling wine that drinks well now but should continue to improve through 2026. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"While subdued on the nose, there's intensity and persistence to be found in this deeply concentrated dry Riesling. White grapefruit and peach flavors are cutting and fresh, edged by layers of slate and crushed mineral. Electric acidity reverberates through a long finish. Hold until 2020, though it's bound to keep improving for years beyond."

"Zesty lime and green melon notes resonate throughout this ethereally light but scintillating dry Riesling. Dusty mineral and pollen notes lend an earthen dimension to crisp, green plum and herb on the palate. It's spine tingling and revitalizing yet lingers persistently on the finish."

"Sumptuous aromas of white peach and pineapple are tinged with rocky mineral tones on this powerful, penetrating dry Riesling. While moderate in alcohol, it's surprisingly ripe in grapefruit and peach flavors, bolstered by a thick, mouthfilling texture."

"Intensely perfumed with notes of violet petals, potpourri and herbs, this is a stunning, elegant Riesling that's also powerfully structured on the palate. It's intensely ripe with stonefruit, but quite dry in style with reverberating lime-juice acidity and a deliciously astringent lime-pith note on the finish."

"This is a lovely wine, impeccably balanced between sweet and crisp, with concentrated fruit that retains its elegance. Honeysuckle, apricot, jasmine tea and every kind of citrus fruit you can conjure up. Young, hard and fruity, it barely shows the depth and layers of flavor that will develop. It will be hard to keep your hands off it."
