Uniqueness describes this wine perfectly. Almost completely clear with a intense glimmer, the nose fills with super ripe sour cherries and creamy raspberries. The palate is filled with strawberry vanilla cream, nectarines, and sweet dried cherries. It keeps the Barbara characteristics, but shows sweetness and a vibrant sense of rebirth. Spring is here, and this gives you a great transition from winter to spring. I could see this pairing with spicy food perfectly. Only on a Tuesday! #nakedwines — 7 years ago
Strawberry fruit and a little herbaceous. — 8 years ago
One of my all time favourites which remains one of the world's best value for money Rieslings. The vineyard's altitude lends a balance of beautiful purity of lemon & line fruit with both freshness and minerality. Fabulous, and with good potential longevity. — 8 years ago
Bright red cherries, bits of earth. Pines in the breeze on the nose. Great wine with just enough of everything needed to be even more elegant and intriguing in a few more years from now. Thank god Jim Maresh's wines are not too well known around here...more for me. — 9 years ago

Another above-the-fold headline scoop from "Superman's Pal"! This is a dense, jammy blend with slimy smooth body. The rich dark cherry, red raspberry, and black currant flavors balance nicely. It works well as an after-dinner digestive wine. — 7 years ago
