Wine & Spirits Magazine (Feb 2009)
2007 Riesling Ice - rated 90: "This ripe wine has an herbal scent, with notes of chervil and white flowers. Its passion fruit flavor has a hint of lees, and complexity that remains poised and finely rendered."
Wine Enthusiast - (Feb 2009)
2007 Dry Riesling - rated 87: "The wine offers aromas of green apples & pears, with a touch of floral spice. On the palate, the character is lively & crisp, with a minerally backbone. The fresh fruit component is elegant & light. A food-friendly wine with a delicate touch."
2007 Semi-Dry Gewurztraminer - rated 86: "This sweet white starts with beguiling aromas of orange blossom, white flowers & spice. The flavors are mouthfilling and honeyed -- a pretty balance of exotic fruits and crisp minerality. Pair with lighter cuisine or salads."

"Intense, with dried apricot and orange notes that stay racy and mouthwatering, along with a sweet backing of maple and candied citrus peel flavors. Good length. Drink now through 2010."

"With its aromas of citrus & honey & its exuberant flavors of tropical fruit & toasted spice, this is both pretty & playful. Sweet but full of finesse, the wine has floral element that adds to its allure."
