Tasting - Bee You Riesling

 

Name: Bee You

Variety: Riesling

Region: California

Country: United States

Year: 2022

Price: 10.99

Wine Review from Wine Enthusiast: "Fresh caviar lime and lemon aromas make for an electric nose on this bottling. It's slightly sweet on the sip, with stonefruit and citrus flavors zesting up the honeyed core."  — Matt Kettmann

My Wine Review using Wine Folly: First, I absolutely loved this wine. Smelling the wine, it was very mellow, and it smelled like honeysuckles. Wine Folly on page 159 has a chart of the tastes of Rieslings. There are a lot of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango. When I first tasted the wine, I tasted immediately floral notes of honeysuckle and what Wine Folly would describe as jasmine on page 157. The flavor was very crisp and sweet, it did have some tropical notes of pineapple but without the acid that pineapple has. The taste surrounds the mouth and feels slippery. I did not get very many citrus flavors from the wine that the review noted, although it was crisp there was no acid which made the wine feel mellow and like a refreshing glass of cold juice on a hot day. This wine has made me a fan of Rieslings, and I'd like to try more!
