Crisp Asian-pear and yellow-apple flavors abound in this bright-fruited Riesling. There's just a whisper of sweetness here lending richness to a svelte palate framed by streaks of tart tangerine acidity and a lingering crushed-stone finish. A well-priced, elegant wine best enjoyed young. Anna Lee C. Iijima
