An ongoing favorite and wonderful value. Superb nose. Lean, focused, nearly effervescent. Slightly clipped on the finish but a sharp wine with tremendous appeal.

(Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling Washington State) Very pale lemon yellow. A pleasing nose with a cornucopia of fruit including apple, melon, and pear. As the wine opens up peaches also emerge. On the palate, a lot of fruit, especially lime, while remaining very dry with a puckering zing of acidity. Finish comes up a bit short on an otherwise very enjoyable wine. Needs food to balance out the acidity. 100% Riesling. Evergreen Vineyard. Aged in stainless steel. 1.41% Residual Sugar. 12.5% alcohol.

If there was a "happy" category this would be in it. Refreshing, light, med sugar, non syrup finish. Smooth fruits.

Great depth with nice balance of fruit and acidity. Not too sweet and great complexity for a riesling.

Little sweeter than I remembered. Better well chilled.

Lime, honey, and apple flavors and aromas. Bright acidity. Off dry. Not bad.
