Tasting - Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling Magnum

Name: Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling Magnum
Region/Country: Germany
Year: 2014 
Price: $18-- Sale $9.95

Winery Review: Light-bodied slightly sweet white wine; medium pale slightly greenish yellow. Inviting fresh white peach aroma and flavors. Easy to drink and not complicated, but what's there is very pleasant, and flavors develop in the glass. 

My Review: There was a hint of mint and honey in the smell and it was very refreshing on the nose. There was a kick of rose-like floral flavor, along with sour apple and peach-like flavors that made this wine soothing inside the mouth. This would be a great wine on its own, but it would also be nice to pair it with a meal. I would give this wine a 90. I enjoyed this one a lot and it was definitely my favorite of the tastings this week. Not to mention its beautiful, slender, blue bottle!
