92 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A beautiful, barely off-dry riesling for the kind of delicious, everyday drinking so many people are looking for. Tons of fresh herbs, a cascade of citrus and tart stone fruit, then a long, crisp, mint and mineral finish. Drink now. Screw cap. (9/16/20)"
91 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Bottled with 11% alcohol and an unknown but rather moderate amount of unfermented sugar, the off-dry 2019 Riesling Butterfly offers a refreshingly pure, fine and slatey Riesling bouquet that is immediately attractive. Fruity, charmingly round and juicy on the palate, it is irresistible due to its grip, mouth-watering piquancy, finesse and salinity. Possibly one of the finest Butterfly bottlings I have tasted so far. Tasted from AP 10 20 in April 2020. Drink: 2020-2030. (Aug 2020)"
91 points The Tasting Panel: "[$22 list] Luscious with peach and citrus yet fresh and clean; silky, balanced, and long. (Jul/Aug 2021)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$22 list] Just a whisper of sweetness accents plump white grapefruit and lime flavors in this almost-dry, lusciously textured Riesling. A blossomy, perfumed white held upright by brisk acidity and a long, stony finish, it's at peak now–2024. Alcohol 11%. (Apr 2021)"
