Tasting - Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum

Name: Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum
Variety: Riesling
Region: Rheinhessen
Country: Germany
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: "This quality Riesling is crisp, clean and easy drinking. Floral and fruit aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautifully balanced and versatile wine."

My Review: On the nose this wine was very fruity. It displayed aromas of apples, peaches, and honey dew melon. To taste, this wine was semi-sweet and crisp at the same time. It showed a nice balance as to not be too sweet. Most of the aromas on the nose were lost to the palate, and the only taste was that of a granny smith apple. Overall, this wine wasn't bad, but definitely not my favorite Riesling. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
