Region: Monterey, California
Country: USA

Shop Review: If you like your Rieslings on the sweet side, this pretty wine is for you. It's brisk in Central Coast acidity, with citrus, peach, honeysuckle and spice flavors that finish clean and long.

My Review: This is one of my favorite wines I've tasted to date, which may be because I enjoy Riesling very much. It smelled soapy with hints of baby powder, which reminded me of perfume and being clean/fresh. As I tasted it, I could immediately detect honeydew melon. It was a light and fresh honeydew melon taste - not musty in the least. I could easily see myself sipping on this Riesling in the summertime.

I tasted this wine on its own without food.
