Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2015 Wine Review

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Floral notes and stone fruit on the nose with peach and pear flavor on the palate. A long crisp finish has a hint of grapefruit.

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Classic Riesling notes of fresh herbs, petrol and stone fruit, this pick boasts a light acidity and overall sweetness, making this a perfect pairing for spicy Thai food, or even with sweet and tart desserts.
Tasted March 2017.

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2015 vintage is clear, bright pale gold colour. 100% riesling from Columbia Valley, Washington State, USA. The wine shows off-dry, medium body, crisp, tangy and mouthwatering with medium acidity. Elegant and vibrant aromatics of crisp Granny Smith Apple, nectarine and orange blossom. Flavour intensity medium on the palate, showing similar nose with wet limestone minerality, lime zest and white pepper. This wine is available at an accessible price point. Recommend pairing with spicy Szechuan, pad Thai or your favourite South Asian fare, such as vegan Indian. Tasted 2015 vintage in Nov 2017. 89 points.

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Honey, citrus peel, and truck loads of floral notes dominate the aromas on this Riesling.
Flavours are pronounced, showing prominent stonefruit (apricot) and honey notes. This a light bodied riesling with balanced acid and a moderate finish. It's a more off-dry version of New World Riesling. Enjoy with spicy Asian spring rolls.

Kerwin Myler rated this wine as 82/100 with the following review:

Too sweet, but not bad. An interesting light effervescence on the other hand.
