2010 Chateau Ste. Michelle-Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling

2010 Chateau Ste. Michelle-Dr. Loosen Eroica Riesling

Lucky us to have this collaboration between two fantastic vineyards:  Ste. Michelle winery in Washington state & Dr. Loosen from Germany.

 Eroica is light straw in color with a fairly pronounced bouquet. The nose is citrusy (orange/lemon) with apple/pear aromas as well. There is a perfect balance between Acidity & Sweetness with a mild tartness on the finish.  Acidity is not crazy – Eroica would be perfect for food pairing (think Spicy) or great to drink on its own. Flavors of lime & peach prevail with a little added minerality giving it a refreshing finish.

 Drink this now or save for a few years – it will just get better…..though after writing this review I’m ready for a glass NOW!  Great value – buy some today!

Interesting fact:  

 Eroica was named after one of Beethoven’s Famous Symphonies by the same name, Eroica
