The Oregonian: It may sound odd, but the great thing about this wine is that it actually smells and tastes like the grape listed on the label. This is definitely not the case with all non-alcoholic wines. The Riesling’s aromas include peaches, lemon sorbet and a light petrol note. Flavors such as honeydew melon, a fresh baked croissant and Lemonhead candies seal the deal. —Michael Alberty, January 2023
