Online Tasting Notes: "Dr. Loosen L. Bros Riesling 2021 is a white wine with delicate fruity aromas on the nose with notes of citrus, apricot, and mineral nuances. The palate is smooth and refreshing." [Decantalo.com]
Wine Folly Notes: I smelled and tasted the apple and citrus and understand the beeswax note since it was quite sweet, but I absolutely did not get any hint of petroleum. I did not pair this wine with any of the suggested meats, but will certainly look to try some in the future as I thoroughly enjoyed this bottle. [WineFolly.com]
My Notes: This week, my group tried both this Riesling and a Piemonte blend (coming to the blog next week) while enjoying the film Somm: Into the Bottle. On the nose, I picked up distinct apple and citrus aromas, leaning toward an orange zest as the origin of the citrus. Wine Folly cites lime in a typical Riesling, so I was probably off there. On first taste, I noted the apple and citrus flavors with a hint of raspberry. This bottle is also quite sweet. My friend brought a pack of Monterey jack and colby cheese cubes, so naturally we all tried the wine with both. The colby and Riesling was a decent, neutral pairing, but the Monterey jack held back the wine's sweetness and helped the other flavors to shine.
