    March 21, 2022 - Cork was starting to deteriorate but the wine was wonderful. Beautiful dark amber with a ton of body and flavour.

    July 11, 2021 - This far exceeded my expectations for a ten year old lower end Riesling. Flint, lime, lemon, plastic, honeysuckle on the nose. The palate is super bright. There’s still a ton of acidity. It works well with the residual sugar, which seems to be around Feinherb level.

    I would never guess this is Columbia Valley fruit. There’s none of the yellow peach and apple notes that I get on every other WA Riesling. Dr. Loosen & Chateau Ste Michelle deserve a lot of credit for this.

    July 7, 2020 - Popped and poured. Medium dark yellow color. Honey with zesty acidity. Citrus fruit. Simple and one dimensional. Medium finish

    April 20, 2020 - Exactly what i'd expect from a soft fruity Riesling.

    January 18, 2020 - Improved from a year ago. Pale yellow in the glass. Nose of grapefruit, petrol and green apple. Mid weight but silky on the palate with the grapefruit dominating. Finished with hints of petrol, grapefruit and fresh cut grass. Very enjoyable.

    (Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling Columbia Valley) An aromatic wine with peach, lime, hibiscus and wet stone. The palate is off dry with stone fruit and citrus flavors, losing a little of its rhythm in the middle before pulling back together for a tart, lingering finish. 100% Riesling. 11% alcohol. 2.28g/100ml Residual Sugar. TA .82g/100ml. 24,000 cases produced. Sample provided by winery
