93 points Maiah Johnson Dunn (Decanter): "This off-dry wine offers floral aromatics, succulent ripe pineapple, dried apricot and grilled citrus fruit accompanied by candied ginger. Elegant, with spirited acidity and a forgiving touch of residual sugar. A perfect companion for spicier foods. A collaboration between Riesling greats Chateau Ste Michelle and Dr Loosen. Drinking Window: 2024-2052. (3/12/24)"
92 points/'Best Buy,' Wine Enthusiast: "The Eroica's aromas of peach, guava and freshly cut grass make a nice introduction to flavors like lemon-flavored Jolly Rancher candies, wet stones and a wisp of red cherry. The wine's mouthfeel is as plush as its acidity is soft. Serve with a plate of tuna sashimi and call it a day. Alcohol 12%. (Apr 2024)"
90 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2022 Riesling Eroica is remarkably pretty, opening with an array of crushed stone, smoky sage and lemon zest. It's pleasantly sweet, showing tons of ripe green melon and lime. Salty minerality compliments the palate and adds unexpected depth. Tropical citrus and floral notes resonate as the 2022 finishes with admirable length and freshness. Drink: 2024-2028. (Jan 2024)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "A succulent and refreshing white, offering nectarine, apricot and honeysuckle accents that finish with a crisp lift. Drink now. (11/30/24)"

Drink now to experience the youthful charm or age this wine for added complexity. Food Pairings: Crab, scallops, sushi, Asian dishes, Indian curries. Alcohol 12%."
