Fess Parker Santa Barbara County 2013 Riesling, $14.99 (bought at the Fresh Market of Bedford), 85 points, poured a glossy gold color.
A petrol dominant aroma crowded out all other aromas for me.
The light-plus body with good acidity managed to overcome the petrol notes to show glimpses of melon rind, peach, and over ripe pear flavors.
Finished by pulling itself up by its boot straps with a lovely hint of guava and peach praline pie; finished long, off dry, a spot-on 12% alcohol, and with a saving grace.
