Eroica from Chateau Ste. Michelle and Dr. Loosen is a delightful Riesling again this year. The nose of the wine is light with hints of pear and a touch of lime. The light nose leads into a refreshing and crisp wine that is filled with balanced sweet flavors of green apple, pears and a touch of honey, it finishes with a little wet stone that adds the perfect balance. With a list price of $24.99 it’s on the high end for a Riesling but is worth every penny. –KM

This is a wonderful Riesling with a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity that develops into smooth off-dry wine. The nose of the wine grabs you with aromas of honey and apple and leads you into a well balanced wine with flavors of green apple, pineapple and light citrus flavors. It has been a long time since we found a riesling with this level of balance and with a retail price of $11 a bottle it's a great buy. -KM

This is another delightful Riesling from Chateau Ste. Michelle, a nice off-dry wine with just enough sweetness. The body of the wine explodes with flavors of peach, pear, and a little citrus.

At under $10 a bottle this is a great bottle of wine that can be enjoyed anytime. This will pair beautifully with Asian cooking and seafood with a little spice. -KM

Chateau Ste. Michelle has two Rieslings, this review is for their Dry Riesling.
This crisp and bright Riesling has a refreshing spirit that is well balanced and a bit of attitude that boast elegance.
Recommend to be served with a nice seafood dish, together with a fruit dessert or light to mild cheeses. -JD

This is an off-dry Riesling; most people will buy this expecting a sweet wine, making this a perfect example of the range of the Riesling grape. The wine itself is very good. Your first sip will remind you a little of a sparkling wine but the flavors come out after a minute and present peaches, pears and a little citrus. -KM

This is a wonderful dry riesling from down under. The flavors of lemons and limes shine through this wine with aromas to match. The finish is just right and leaves your palate clean.

This is a Dry Riesling with distinct petro fuel aromas on the nose. This will scare many consumers off at first but this smell is common with Rieslings and can be a sign of good wine. And in this case it is an indicator of a good wine; the body brings citrus flavors with grapefruit undertones.

The wine starts with light floral aromas that lead into a refreshing yet sweet Riesling. Honey, apricots, lemon and a hint of orange flavors come quickly to the front of the palate but fade a little faster then we would like leaving us wanting more.
