Ancient Lakes 'Eight Thousand Lakes' Riesling 2019, Washington State

You might associate Riesling with the cooler climates and lofty slopes of Germany and Austria. And you'd be forgiven for thinking that Washington is far too warm for this grape. After all, the fresh, citrusy acidity that comes from milder climates is what makes it all the more refreshing and fantastic with lightly spiced dishes. Luckily, this wine is made on the edge of the cooling Columbia Basin, a stone's throw from the foothills of the Cascade mountain range. These are the perfect conditions for this off-dry style of Riesling. You'll taste the benefits in notes of lemon, white flowers and honey.

Characterful Washington State Reisling. Crowd pleasing rather than connoisseur level. Funky melon balanced with a lovely fresh, limey acidity. Fantastic  value at the £7.99 offer price..

This may be the worst Riesling on the planet. This is normally one of my favourite grapes, however I do not get any typical characteristics from this offering  at all. Above all is the cloying sweetness.
Straight to drain I'm afraid.

Classic Riesling nose which is forceful, slightly off dry but better this than too dry.
Would definitely buy again, a wine that needs to be understood for what it is
which quite a number of reviews do not.

As is typical with most American wines it is too sweet in comparison with its European counterparts, Serve with desert, maybe an apple crumble. This wine reminded me more of a Huxelrebethe than a Riesling

I would not describe this wine as "off-dry" in the typical German or Austrian sense. To me it lacked the necessary astringency that combines so well with the fruitiness that typifies a classic Riesling - even the late harvest Spatlese are more dry.

Bought as a bin-end as a bit of a punt. Very strong characteristic petrol smell. Quite overpowering and not balanced by the very off-dry richness of the wine. I didn't like it, but some Riesling aficionados may appreciate it more.

Fruity taste more ripe and smoother than apples and lemons, I think it's the honey flavour, more on the sweet than dry side. Most pleasant.

Disliked this wine and could drink it due to it smelling of paint and tasting like it too! Wouldn’t recommend or repurchase.

Unimpressed. Taste was fine but what I can only describe as a hint of petrol on the nose. Wouldn't buy again.
