WineDiva's Review

Slick, expressive, mouthwatering.
A newer member of the Black Hills portfolio, Alias is an aromatic blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurz, Schoenburger, Muscat and Ehrenfelser. It's a fun addition to the Black Hills' portfolio with creamy stone fruits and guava, zesty, honey and has an earthy core. Slick and a bit oily with expressive fruit and mouthwatering acidity. Nice concentration.
