Willamette Valley Vineyards 2018 Riesling, $13.99-$15.99, 89 points, was a pale brass color and clear before the rim.
Sweet apple aromas were nuanced with pome blossoms, citrus zest, and pear.
Near medium-bodied white wine, medium sweet, fair acidity, and a rather fluctuating flavor profile of honey, guava, apple, pineapple, and lemon with the slightest petrol note kept shifting from one moment to another, but all were good.
Finished long and a bit tart on peach cobbler, apricot, and an appropriate 9.2% alcohol.
Paired well with our Asian cuisine.

How sweet? Balanced acid?
ReplyDeleteV-girl: medium sweet, and maybe just a tad too sweet, and the acidity was fair or medium, which was a tad too to fair for me, but the robust and complex flavors were superb.
DeleteIron sharpens iron; thx for the comments.
Thanks for the clarification...probably a little too sweet for me.
