I love cheap (this one was $9) German Rieslings. Seriously. Low alcohol, off dry/semi-sweet, acidic enough, and thoroughly quaffable–they are a perfect simple wine that you can drink with anything or nothing.
The downside is that they’re way too easy to drink. One can easily finish a bottle without even realizing it.
Mild stone fruit on the nose and a touch of stone.
The palate is stone fruit: peach/nectarine/apricot, with some apple and even grape.
The finish brings just a touch of spice and perhaps pear.
Quite frankly, it’s not well balanced, the acid that’s there doesn’t really balance it out. It’s not complex...I mean, I taste grapes. The lesson here is that a wine need not be balanced and terribly complex to be good. It’s simple and easy drinking, the wine you’ll bring on a picnic or will crack open when it’s 90 degrees and you’re hanging out on the deck.
