Crisp, light, green wine. with flavors of green plums, grapefruit acidity and a pronounced layer of classic Gruner pepper. Screwcap.——R.V.(8/1/2008)—— 86

The 2004 vintage didn't yield blockbuster Gruner Veltliners, but the lower-level wines seem particularly attractive. This offering boasts a pronounced leafiness, but also ripe, almost honeyed flavors and creamy texture. Some crisp acids on the finish give it the necessary edge to serve as an aperitif or alongside food.——J.C.(8/1/2006)—— 87
