Winery Review

This quality Riesling is crisp, clean and easy drinking. Floral and fruit aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautifully balanced and versatile wine.

My Review
As a person who loves the sweeter wines I was very excited for this Riesling. The nose gave off a lot of floral scents that were really well balanced with hints of lemon and other mild citrus scents. There were other fruits that made their way into the finish that really allowed the smell of this wine to come through amazingly. The flavor was very sweet and just the right amount of dryness on the finish. It was one of my favorite Rieslings to date. 

I did not eat food with this wine.
