Chateau St Michelle Eroica Riesling 2009Item ID: #2835
Product Information:
94 points, Wine Enthusiast
“This wine just gets better with every new vintage. Young and fresh, it hits the palate with lip-puckering acidity, rolling on flavors of lemons, oranges, citrus rind, and then into mango and papaya. Though the residual sugar is listed at 1.6%, it shows only in a pleasing roundness in the lengthy finish. Delicious now, but entirely cellar-worthy for a decade or longer.”

“Pretty, bright, clean and harmonious, this young riesling suggests herb and lemon in its scent, with freshness and drive propelling the wine across the palate. It’s composed, if a little linear at the moment. No question it will fill out in the cellar; then serve with veal loin.”
90 points, Wine Spectator
“Light and tart, the acidity balanced against gentle sweetness as the tangy grapefruit and apple flavors linger beautifully. Drink now through 2019.”
