The rise and rise of the Grosset Watervale Riesling continues with yet another excellent vintage. The 2003 Watervale Riesling has attractive lime and lemon aromas, is fresh, clean and compact with intense lime juice flavors and some mineral notes, a tight structure, and a powerful, bracing zesty acidity. Like the Polish Hill it is more approachable than the previous vintage but is still a wine that deserves to be cellared. It is multi-layered with impressive concentration, depth and length of flavor. A cracker.
Wine Advocate The 2003 Riesling Watervale is a light-bodied, citrusy effort revealing notions of lemon blossoms, pears, and minerals in a clean, zesty, dry style. Surprisingly long for its lightness, this seductive Riesling should drink well over the next 1-2 years. This wine is finished with a screw cap. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, October 2004.Wine Spectator Light and dry, with almond and mineral notes prominent but some nice grapefruit and apple flavors as well; stony flavors linger impressively. Score: 90. —Harvey Steiman, April 30, 2004.
Wine Enthusiast Not an overtly flavorful wine, the Watervale is wiry, with citrus and peach-skin flavors and not any fluff. Its mineral-chalk texture, which continues on through the finish, is what's most pleasing. Clean, crisp and correct. Score: 88. —Daryna Tobey, September 01, 2004.
