Wine Review: Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling

Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling
You’ve all seen it, you’ve all tasted it, so here’s what you probably already know: It’s not pricey and it’s not bad.
So here we go: quick and easy.
Color
Pale, silver hay, not much injected in there. Looks refreshing.
Nose
Floral, citrus, peaches, blossoms, cold water, light sour manure stink.
Taste
Pleasing and full. Dances on the tongue with good acid. Fruit is forward enough, and no heat whatsoever. The peaches and citrus fade away to bring on some canteloupe, honeydew and a small hit of grass. Long, lip-smacking finish. Bit too sweet.
With Food
Does anyone drink this with food anymore? I mean, Chateau Ste Michelle is a fantastic producer, but this stuff is practically left on the doorsteps of people moving into new suburban homes. Anything that isn’t red or stinky would work, but let’s face it, you’re going to drink it no matter what.
