The Tattoo Girl Riesling 2024 is a wine that should be found for under $15. Tatto Girl wines are part of William Weaver Wines, and they offer a full array of the typical Washington/Columbia Valley wines.
The Story
The Tattoo Girl Riesling 2024 is 98% Riesling, with 1% Chardonnay, and 1% Pinot Gris. Pinot Gris is the same grape as Pinot Grigio, just produced in the French style rather than the Italian style.
Most Riesling wines found on wine shop shelves are from Germany, Austria, and Washington State. The Mosel, Germany wines are considered to be elite, while the Washington Rieslings are often good bargains.
The grapes are sourced from the Ancient Lakes AVA, the Wahluke Slope AVA, the Yakima Valley AVA, and the greater Columbia Valley.
This is an off-dry Riesling, indicating it is slightly sweet. A sweet wine, when balanced by acidity, can taste more like ripe fruit and sugar sweet.
The alcohol content is a low 11%. A low alcohol rating can mean the grapes were grown in a cool climate where they did not get overly ripe.
The Tattoo Girl Riesling 2024 Tasting Notes
The color is a pale gold that shines brightly in the light. The nose is apple, lemon, peach, grapefruit, and nectarine, with a floral edge. The Tattoo Girl Riesling 2024 is subtle, but rich and tasty.
This Riesling tastes like lemon cough drops, lime, pear, green apple, stone fruit, faint tangerine, and peach. Maybe a light brush of spice and dried pineapple.
The acidity does counteract the sweetness, and this wine has excellent fruit and citrus flavors. The finish stays with you for a long time.
The Summary
- The Tattoo Girl Riesling 2024 is a very good wine, not too sweet, not too dry.
- I was not aware of the Tattoo Girl line of wines before this, but the Riesling is good enough to have me looking for the other wines.
