90 Points Robert Parker / Wine Advocate "Terra Bona Family Harvest 2017"

April 29, 2019

Notes:

...This is pretty nice. Crisp and fresh with a touch of grapefruit on the finish, it lingers nicely and shows off some tension. The juicy finish grabs the palate. It is a little more austere in flavor than some Rieslings, but it has fine fruit nonetheless. This is an impressive debut that looks capable of aging a reasonable time as well. Good Riesling must hold a bit, of course, to be deemed truly distinguished. There, we'll see, but it is worth leaning up just now. In the meanwhile, many will find it to be just what they want in a Riesling-ish wine…
