AP #3 under screw cap. Slightly reductive. Leaner profile for Schaefer due to cooler vintage. Not as exuberant or as expressive as I anticipated.

2008 was a cooler vintage...more in the older style with higher acidity and less obvious ripeness. This leaner structure supported by citrus flavors and wet stones is a very refreshing experience...we had it as a sort of palette cleaners between reds...classic Schaefer Riesling!
