We reviewed the 2008 vintage of Kung Fu Girl and were impressed by the quality of the wine. Sourced from a single vineyard, the Evergreen Vineyard, located in the Columbia Valley region of Washington State. The label does not take itself too seriously, but the wine is a serious Riesling.
Real pretty nose, fragrant, delicate aromas of peaches, apricots, cut flowers and slate dust. A light oily mouth feel, tons of flavor exploding in the front of your mouth. Tastes of tangerines, apricots and a bit of minerality up front with lemon/lime in the back of the palate. A solidly constructed wine, not sweet at all, has the nice initial burst of fruit flavors, then the slightly tart mid-palate then a smooth long finish. Very well balanced, has enough acidity to stand up to asian food, but with enough fruit to make this a wine to drink on it’s own.
I was a big fan of the 2008 vintage and the 2009 is even better. Made by Charles Smith Wines, this is a Winemaker to take note of, he is making some really excellent wines in the under $20 price category.
