2008 Willm Riesling Reserve 01/14/2010
![]() This is a Riesing with no perceived sweetness, except maybe aromatically. For $13, this bottle offers a wine that is crystal clear, even pretty to look at. It has a zesty lemon scent, a bit of pear, some fresh flowers, and a touch of that alcoholic sting on the nose. And once past the lips it delivers a lush onset, followed by a crescendo-like acidic lift. The amount of body surprised me here. This is a wine that can go solo or with some rich cream-sauce-smothered seafood. I like this wine a lot and give it an A- in that 90-9 point range.
