    Seyfried always seems to do well with aromatic varieties, perhaps because of the family's Germanic roots. This Riesling includes a hint of honey on the nose, plus melon and pear fruit and a lingering hint of gingery spice on the finish.

    Light in weight, delicate in style, this is just barely off dry. Crisp apple fruit carries hints of riper stone fruit (nectarine?) but is underlain by a distinctly stony note. The lingering finish ably balances tart and sweet.

    Full-bodied and a bit soft, this is already showing some development, so it probably should be consumed over the near term. Baked apple and citrus aromas give way to poached pear and lemon flavors, finishing with a gentle sweep of fruit.
