Simply gorgeous. This honeyed, apricot-laden, rich, plush dessert wine is balanced by zippy acidity and leaves the palate fresh, clean and satiated. Peach, orange and nectarine flavors add interest. Complex. ——J.M.(12/1/2002)—— 93

The proprietors spray the vines with water to encourage botrytis formation, then turn off the water and let nature take its course. The result is a fabulously rich dessert Riesling, full of dried apricots and tangerines. There’s a musky, spicy character too, and a strong undercurrent of acidity keep sit from being cloying.——J.C.(5/1/2001)—— 90
