A wine of interesting contrasts, the 2007 Riesling from Omaka Springs takes the strident lime-sherbet and wet-stone notes often associated with dry Rieslings and marries them with an off-dry style. It’s medium in body, with those minerally notes helping to balance the sweetness on the finish.——J.C.(9/1/2009)—— 87

Made in a lean, racy style, this Marlborough Riesling combines moderate alcohol (12.5%) with minimal residual sugar to make a crisp, refreshing wine well suited to washing down shellfish. Scents of stones (flint) and lime pick up hints of nectarine before finishing tart and clean. Imported by T.G.I.C. Importers.——J.C.(7/1/2005)—— 88

Apple, pear and quince aromas segue into a pleasant mix of tree and stone fruits on the palate, wrapped up by a zippy, citrusy finish. Best Riesling yet from this producer, worth trying if you can find it.——J.C.(8/1/2004)—— 89
