Columbia Valley Riesling

Was very light yellow in color with visible legs on the sides of the glass and noticeable viscosity. Had a faint smell of stone fruit. Tasted of sweet pineapple and had hints of apple. Could feel it in the back of my throat.

This Riesling offers notes of green apple, pineapple and apricot. It has a very low acidity is medium sweet with a smooth finish.

Smells like a Riesling, tastes a little like a Riesling but nowhere near enough acidity to be "crisp and lively" like the label says... just sits on the palate like blah.

Tried this in class and I am glad to have tasted, as this is absolutely not for me. It was far too sweet. On a more positive note, I could see someone with a sweeter tooth enjoying a glass or two, however anything more than that would make me sick based on the sugar content alone, which I remember to be around .2%. The wine had notes of citrus, which I look for in whites, but overall it was too sweet for my palate, and I typically look for a more dry white.

Compared to the dry, this is very sweet to taste. Almost too sweet. The sugar content is around .2%. This was paired with a salty cracker which made the sweetness really burst. Not a huge fan. It was interesting to taste the difference between this one and the dry. I get similar notes on the nose (citrus and ginger) but it’s very different when settling on my taste buds.

2023 regular Riesling. Super pale, almost transparent. Smells sweet. Light. Taste like lychee and grapefruit. High residual sugar ~2%.
