Pale golden hue with aromas that are very subtle probably due to the chill of the wine fridge set at 55 degrees F. I'll add to this when it comes closer to room temp...
Palate--Immediate first impression of gently sweet mid palate with uncomplicated summer fruit and melon. The structure is a bit "flabby" for my preference but passable. Again the wine is too cold to appreciate so I will re-review this below.
This Rheinhessen "prodikut (title)" wine is the fifth in ranking of sweetness which you know by the designation "KABINETT." and as you move up the sweetness chart it will read, Kabinett, Spëtlese, then Auslese, Beerenauslese, and Trockenbeerenauslese being the sweetest and the most expensive generally speaking.
I am pairing this with baked Salmon with a dill and lemon sauce. At $15, it is "OK" but a bit disappointing.
Okay--after dinner and the wine coming up from cellar temperature it was pleasant enough but there are certainly many options available for a few bucks less that are significantly more flavorful. Either way--raise a glass!
