Eroica Riesling 2010 (Washington)

I am sure many of you are familiar with Chateau Ste Michelle winery in Washington. This is one of their Riesling wines, they have others but this is more dry, although it does not state Dry Riesling on the bottle the alcohol content is a good indication. The higher the alcohol the more dry the wine. I am not a sweet wine drinker and I was skeptical about this wine but it was pretty good and I would buy it again.


In this glass this wine was a pale yellow. The nose was crisp, floral and fruity. On the palate this wine was light body a bit tannic at first with notes of jasmine, melon, citrus such as lime and clementine orange. I served this wine with spicy tacos which was not to bad but would pair well with spicy tuna, goat cheese and sushi much better. Long fruity finish, easy to drink and after a bit of air it was smooth.

Interesting fact:  Eroica was named after one of Beethoven's Famous Symphonies by the same name, Eroica
