I'm impressed, honestly, as this wine is pretty damn good at less than $10. A touch of RS adds some weight to the palate with good apple and herbal notes and also helps extend the finish. There is some abrasiveness to the finish where the acidity comes together with the flavors, but the acidity levels are low so this isn't a huge issue. I give this an 85 points and call this a win at this price point. While not greatly impressed by the wine, considering the price point I would say this is good stuff. It's easy to hate on mass-produced wine and I was looking for something to hate, and I didn't find anything, rather, it's actually quite good.

Nose: Light, with apples Palate: Crisp acid, apples, almost reminded me of a very dry cider. Very little else to it with a short finish. Notes: The acid is just too high, and the flavor is overly simple. I could give it a few more points if the acid didn't linger so long after the taste went away. On the flip side the acid makes it a great wine to cook with.

A fairly simple, sweet riesling without much backbone. Pairs well with spicy food.

Light smell of citrus and mineral. Strong, sweet taste of citrus but overpowered by alcohol on the finish. Not dry by any means.
