Wine: Kung Fu Girl Riesling
$11.20 at food lion
Year: 2021
Location: Washington State
Color: pale yellow, silvery glints
Smell: pineapple, lemon
Taste: juicy, slightly bitter like underripe fruit. Not dry, medium sweet, lemon/lime rind aftertaste, maybe some grapefruit as well.
General notes: This had the most significant difference in taste and smell that I have had while taking detailed tasting notes - expected sweeter, more tropical flavors, and instead got this kind of unpleasantly bitter flavor. Interesting that the two senses could be so different. Probably wouldn't buy again; it was cheap and some interesting stuff going on but there are far better Rieslings out there in my price range.
Wine Folly lists lime, apple, beeswax, jasmine, and petroleum as common notes. Personally only picked up the fruits, and wasn't looking hard enough to pull jasmine or beeswax out of my ass.
