Every wine, beer, water, or food has an associated array of flavors attached to it. Yet pinpointing the exact flavor of a product is one of the most elusive processes that any critic will encounter. This is a very personal perception that could make the difference between the minimum and maximum point rating. By exercising personal preferences, the taster will achieve a truer rating.

The 2007 Eroica Riesling, made in collaboration with the Dr. Loosen estate in Germany's Mosel region, is light to medium straw-colored with fragrant aromas of spring flowers, mineral, and honeysuckle. Crisp and just off-dry, in a Kabinett style, it delivers flavors of melon and pineapple. The wine is balanced and vibrant and may well evolve for several years in the manner of a top German Mosel Kabinett. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 5-7 years.

“ The 2006 Eroica delivers fresh mandarin orange and lime aromas and flavors with subtle mineral and slate notes. This Eroica shows the warm vintage through its slightly richer, bolder style than the previous vintage. Although slightly more fruit forward, the 2006 Eroica still achieves complexity from the diverse mix of vineyards we source from--including higher elevation vineyards on the fringes of the Columbia Valley, as well as the more traditional older vines from the Yakima Valley.” - Bob Bertheau...

Since the project began, this has consistently been among the best non-dessert Rieslings produced in the USA and the 2006 continues in that tradition.

This wine may well evolve in the manner of one of Dr. Loosen's great Mosel Rieslings. Stashing...
