Winery 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: I loved this Riesling! On the nose there were peaches and cream, and most notably lychee. There was the same lychee taste on the palate, as well as sweeter tones. I got strawberry jam, hibiscus, honeysuckle, and canteloupe. It's made for casual, easy drinking - perfect for the warming weather. The texture was chewy and reminiscent of mochi. Keep an eye out for this wine, and I definitely regret not purchasing it! It wasn't pared with anything, but maybe strawberry and vanilla ice cream would complement the sweet tones.
