Vintage Cellar Review: This wine is the perfect balance of honeysuckle and bright peach flavors. A perfect compliment to light fare, appetizers, or just sharing with friends.
My review: Riesling is my favorite wine right now after I got over the clawing sweetness of moscatos. I never smelled rieslings before since I never factored that into drinking wine. The flavor was really delicate and a sweet fruity smell to it too. The taste was sort of different than rieslings I've had before. The other more name brands like Barefoot for example were always one note of just sweet, but not sickenly sweet and you could drink like water. This wine had nice fruity bursts of especially peach, but everything just was really balanced with a sharp finishing taste only hinting to the dryness of a chardonnay. However, I didn't buy it just because I have had rieslings before and this experience is all about trying new wines. This wine though is extremely good and has something for all levels of wine-tasters.
