Wine Tasting: 2011 Chateau Ste Michelle Harvest Select Sweet Riesling

Name: Chateau Ste Michelle Harvest Select
Variety: Sweet Riesling
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Country: USA
Year: 2011

Wine Maker's Notes: Enjoy Classic Washington state Riesling in this rich, sweeter style with juicy "dribble down your chin" flavors of peach and apricot. Balanced with bright acidity for a luscious mouthfeel.

My Review: I tried this wine at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Chicago after a long day shopping the Magnificent Mile. This was my first Riesling, and I have to say I wasn't disappointed! It was a beautiful yellow color and smelled of pear and a sweeter apple. On the taste it was relatively smooth with sweet and fruity flavors of apples and a hint of citrus. It was a little tart on the finish. It was definitely one of the sweetest wines I have tasted. I did not have any food with this wine.
