Shop Review:
Gorgeously gold in the light, lush, tropical fruit fragrances leap from the glass, while satiny summer peaches and fresh melons rain down on your palate. This is 24-carat bliss.
My Review:
The Sutter Home Riesling smells almost like the Yalumba Viognier, just a little fruitier. The aromas are strong of lychee with a subtle hint of apricot. I wasn't excited to get into this wine straight away because it reminded me of the viognier, but I quickly got over that and tasted. Tasting the Riesling was like biting into a cross breed of peaches, apricots and lychee, picked straight off the tree. The mid pallet offers a little spice, while keeping its fruitiness. And it finishes with a melon-y pineapple flavor in the back of the mouth. Overall a delicious wine.
