  All the fruit for this wine comes from Bacchus Vineyard. Aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle and apricot lead to medium-sweet stone-fruit flavors that linger.

  This off-dry Riesling hits 32 g/L residual sugar, though it is not especially sweet. Some skin flavors add a bit of bitterness to the fruit, and the orange pekoe tea and brown sugar blandishments are not entirely integrated. A bit more bottle age should help.

• 201188 pts

  This off-dry Riesling has enough acid to balance the 2.7% residual sugar. Aromas of flower and citrus blossom lead into lemon-driven fruit. There is just a bit of a granular, sugar-like feeling on the tongue.

  Sourced entirely from the Bacchus vineyard, this is an uneasy mix of dry and sweet, as if both styles were trying to come out in a single wine. The residual sugar is grainy and sweet, not quite integrated into the tart fruit flavors of nectarine and apricot.

  This 100% Riesling shows just a touch of residual sugar, with flavors of light lemon, orange pekoe tea and candied papaya fruit. It has unusual body for a Riesling.

  This is 23% Sauvignon Blanc, an unusual choice in light of the sweetness (3.1% residual sugar) of the finished wine. It's hard to tell what the winemaker was thinking here, but the result is a bit diffuse, both sugary and lightly lemony without coming together harmoniously.
