Tasting - Heinz Eifl Shine Riesling

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95

Critic Review: Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors. Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.

My Review: This wine smelled very much like minerals and wet rocks.  It was very acidic, very tangy and had a strong citrus flavor with some hints of pineapple.  It had an overall sweet flavor, despite the acidity.  The stark contract between the taste and the smell was interesting.  It liked the taste, but I didn't care for the smell at all.  I did not try this wine with food.
