Eroica - 2012

• Columbia Valley, Washington
• Château Ste. Michelle,  Ernst Loosen
• Riesling
• $31.00

He says :           3.0 stars

• Very acidic, but balanced with sweet tang, reminiscent of asti
• Very fruity; peach, strawberry and apricot taste 
• Fresh but with a medium body
• Has a bit of fizz to it, little sparkly
• Complexity comes from fizz
• Finish is a little acidic, fresh and long lasting
• Pleasant, but too similar to asti for me
• Interesting, nothing more

She says :           4.25 stars

• Smells like exotic fruits: starfruit, pears and peaches
• Very fruity: lime, apple and grapefruit taste
• Sweet and pleasant
• Mineral
