Here is their description on the bottle, “This slightly sweet Riesling is rich and full of ripe peach, green apple and honeysuckle and has a crisp, clean finish.”
Appearance: light yellow diamond
Aroma: a mix of sweet fruit, tart apple, and citrus meat.
Flavors and Mouthfeel: I really like their description for this wine. The only thing I would change is: it has a clean delivery; crispness on the mid and finish that goes along with the citrus meat feel on the palate; there is a lemon-lime tartness that lingers on the tongue (reminds me of a sweet-tart candy); all this swirls around that sweet honeysuckle note. The bottle has it labeled as ‘medium sweet,’ and once again I’ll have to concur. The sweetness is on the delivery and mid palate when the dry notes show up for the late mid and finish. It seems to be a very refreshing mouthfeel that it leaves on the palate.
To the Point: a very tasty Semi-dry Riesling. For only $13.00 – I think this is a bargain.
