Count on Fetzer to have good wines at giveaway prices. This appealing Riesling is delicate in body and very fruity, with ripe flavors of apples, peaches and apricots. It has a spritzy, almost Champagne-like zest, and slight sweetness. It’s also easy to drink, with a low 12% alcohol.——S.H.(11/15/2003)—— 87

Opens with scents of honeysuckle, vanilla, nectarine and smoke, and turns fairly sweet in the mouth, with fruity-berry flavors. Very high-tech clean, with a scour of acidity on the finish.——S.H.(12/31/2003)—— 85

The sweet grapey aromas on the nose don’t mislead, but rather lead to concord-grape and pears-in-syrup flavors. A touch of spritz on the palate adds a little life, and it’s at its best well chilled. ——W.E.(5/1/2001)—— 82
