Not as sweet as I had expected for a Riesling meant to go with spicy Asian food. Some tartness, some sweetness. A little flat or flabby, if I recall correctly.

Nose: green apple. Palate: pear and honeysuckle and ginger; middle palate tastes of blood orange; could use a hint more acidity to hold it together and balance out the sweetness but this is a great wine with Japanese/Chinese food

(Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling Washington State) Pale in color. Lots of mineral notes along with tropical fruit on the nose. As the wine opens, traces of floral aromas start to show along with abundant tangerine notes and a hint of citrus at the tail end. On the taste, crisp and tart like a Granny Smith apple. A layered wine with a fair amount of complexity.

Drank for Lauren's b day dinner. Wet rock/apricot aroma. Med body. Less crisp than I recall in PY vintages.
