About This Wine:

Launched in 1999, Eroica is a labor of love for two of the world’s great Riesling producers. One from the Old World, Dr. Loosen estate of Germany, and the other from the New World, Chateau Ste. Michelle of Washington state. An intermingling of Old and New World philosophies and techniques enables the crafting an extraordinary Riesling from Washington state grapes. Named for Beethoven’s Third Symphony, Eroica reflects not only its variety and site, but also its heritage: bold and forward from its Washington roots, elegant and refined from German inspiration.

Tasting Notes

“The 2010 Eroica Riesling exudes mandarin orange and sweet lime aromas and flavors with subtle mineral notes. The mouth-watering acidity is beautifully balanced by flavorful Washington Riesling fruit. After a more than a decade we have truly found our “Eroica style,” striving for beautiful bright fruit with crisp acidity and enhanced mineralilty.”

Foods: Asian dishes, Indian curries, crab, scallops


Ratings & Reviews

92 Points & "Cellar Selection" - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Eroica has a proven ability to age; in fact it needs at least a half decade in the cellar to show its real strengths. Tight and packed with primary fruit flavors of lime and peach, this beautifully proportioned wine has perceptible sweetness but plenty of natural acidity. Lively and fresh today, but best given a few more years in the cellar." - P.G.  (12/15/2011)

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2010 Eroica Riesling had just been bottled when I tasted it. It displays similar aromatics but with more elevated acidity, a characteristic of the vintage that provides considerable refreshment in the finish." - Jay Miller (Aug 2011)

Rank #42 Top 100 Wines of 2011, 94 Points & "Editor's Choice" - Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2009 Vintage):

"This wine just gets better with every new vintage. Young and fresh, it hits the palate with lip-puckering acidity, rolling on flavors of lemons, oranges, citrus rind, and then into mango and papaya. Though the residual sugar is listed at 1.6%, it shows only in a pleasing roundness in the lengthy finish. Delicious now, but entirely cellar-worthy for a decade or longer."  — P.G.  (5/1/2011)

92 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine (2009 Vintage):
"Pretty, bright, clean and harmonious, this young riesling suggests herb and lemon in its scent, with freshness and drive propelling the wine across the palate. It's composed, if a little linear at the moment. No question it will fill out in the cellar; then serve with veal loin. (Jun 2011)"

90 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine (2009 Vintage):
"Light and tart, the acidity balanced against gentle sweetness as the tangy grapefruit and apple flavors linger beautifully. Drink now through 2019. 12,600 cases made." –HS
