By Josh Raynolds
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 07
"Light straw. Strong citrus and spice aromas are complicated by jasmine and mint. Strikingly fresh, with vivid tangerine and pear flavors, chewy texture and a long, penetrating finish. A dry, clean, refreshing riesling, in a typical style for Leeuwin. 90 points."

"The light straw-colored 2006 Riesling “Art Series” exhibits a bouquet of mineral, spring flowers, and lemon-lime. This leads to a dry, crisp wine with plenty of citrus fruit, ripe flavors, excellent concentration, and a lengthy finish. Although it can be enjoyed now, particularly with raw bar, it will evolve for up to a decade in the manner of a top Mosel Riesling.

Leeuwin Estate is one of the benchmark wineries of Western Australia. Both reds and whites exhibit cool climate character and European elegance."  90 pts, Jay Miller, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct. 2007
