This wine doesn't bring the chalky minerals and petrol I have come to love about Dry Rieslings, but you know what? I paid $3.97 for this on sale at Cost Plus so I have no complaints. It's smooth enough, pleasant dry sweetness, interesting tart apple and mint flavors, and finishes fine. It definitely comes across as a bargain wine with a certain simpleness and unrefined quality but it's not off-putting at all.

Light golden color. Floral citrus nose. Green apples, peaches, and floral notes upfront, followed by touch of honey on the citrus finish. Just slightly sweet, but still crisp and refreshing. A bit simple overall, but nonetheless a nice value priced below $10. Very enjoyable, though not really comparable to the Eroica in my mind.

Pleasant but a bit simple. Bit sweeter then I was expecting.

Nice typical Washington Riesling. Apples and peaches with a bit of minerality and petrol.
