In horror films, so many of the characters tend to make exactly the wrong choice, and end up getting killed. Much like a horror movie, Nein Lives Riesling features cats finding themselves making poor life choices. Take for example, our furry friend on this bottle of Nein Lives Riesling, who happens to be exploring the finer points of knives in light sockets. (Don’t try this at home folks!). While the label is kitsch, how’s the Riesling?
Sight: A pale straw color with watery edges.
Smell: Beautiful notes of pear and golden apples come out with a hint of yeasty and floral honey. Touch of wet stone.
Sip: A lightly sweet start with lots of acidity starts things off. Bright pear and lemons drive to the forefront with notes of honey. There are good touches of golden apple and honeysuckle.
Savor: The ending is brief with lots of lemon, green apple, and a hint of honey.
Nein Lives Riesling is crisp and delicious. The wine is easy going, loaded with great pome fruit, and good citrus. The slight sweetness is great for spicy dishes, and the labels are fantastic. Nein Lives Riesling is simple and straightforward with lots of delicious, clean flavors.
Verdict: Pear, Lemons, Honey, Golden Apples
