Tasting - "R Wines Eco. Love Riesling"

NameR Wines Eco. Love Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: South Island
Country: New Zealand 
Year: 2009
Price: $18


Winery Review: "
Our South Island Riesling has a range and combination of flavors unlike any other. These flavors span citrus , root ginger, white peach, spices and florals. Eco.love Riesling is made in balance to an off-dry style. Food Pairing: Asian Fusion, Seafood, Curry, and anything spicy."

My Review:  Light and cirtusy on the nose, specifically smells of orange peels and zest.  The taste, however, was more earthy with oak and a little bit of fruit flavors on the finish.  I think this wine was too oakey for me, and personally wouldn't drink it again.  But not a bad wine for the sale price of $7.95.
