Wine without BS: Charles Smith 'Fung Fu Girl' 2010 Riesling

Welcome to Wine Without BS. Sick of reading wine reviews that fail to sell me on the product itself, my aim is to breathe some much needed normality to an industry neck deep in bullshit speak and wine wank terminology.

Charles Smith 'Fung Fu Girl' 2010 Riesling

Having recently been asked to review a few US Wines for the US Consulate in Melbourne who are embarking on a Festival of Food and Wine from the United States I thought I'd share these reviews with you. I'll be posting a range of US Wine reviews this week under the hastag #USWineWeek

Crystal clear with an almost glossy looking colour of pale lime. The aroma shows citrus notes, tropical fruits and sherbet. To drink it has a noticeable but not overdone touch of sweetness that is complimented with good acidity, lemon, lime and tropical fruit flavours with a little zing on the tongue.

Price - $24.99 from Grand Central Cellars
Region - Columbia Valley, Washington, USA
Final Sip - A very enjoyable wine that would be enhanced by pairing it with something light but spicy... think Cajun prawns or fish tacos with a splash of hot sauce!
