2011 Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling

I've actually never had an American Riesling before, so it was about time. The 2011 Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling is a single vineyard riesling where all grapes are from the Evergreen vineyard in Washington. It has 10 g/l sugar and acidity of 7.8 g/l. I've seen different information on the alcohol in this wine, all from 11% to 12.5%.

Tasting note on the 2011 Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling:

On the nose I get apples, some star fruit and some cardboard. The acidity hits in from the beginning in the mouth which is nice. You feel there is some residual sugar there. Apples and ripe tropical fruit with some hints of minerality. 85 points

It's hard to pinpoint what makes me not like this wine that much. There is something about the fruit flavour, but it is also a tad boring. That said, I expected a lot worse. I was worried it would be overripe and lacking acidity, but that wasn't the case. It is a well made wine, but as mentioned, a bit boring.
