Full, round, tart and spicy, this is easily approachable and ready to drink immediately. Quite flavorful, with ginger and lime highlights.——P.G.(10/1/2011)—— 90

Ponzi makes very little Riesling, which is a shame, because this is a big, full-bodied, leesy, mineral-soaked mouthful of fresh, zesty flavor. Whole cluster pressed, stainless steel fermentation, and 13% alcohol, it’s a wine to gulp down by the glass. Pure pleasure. ——P.G.(6/1/2010)—— 88

This is the first dry Riesling since 1993, though it was a Ponzi hallmark from 1974 until it was dropped. Fashions have brought dry Riesling into play again, and this is a textbook example mixing Meyer lemon, chamomile tea and even a bit of peppery spice. Unfortunately just 70 cases were made. ——P.G.(12/1/2006)—— 92
