It is often said that two heads are better than one. Look at great collaborations and see what they have accomplished. The same thing could be said about wine, too. The collaboration of Chateau
Ste. Michelle in Washington and Dr. Loosen in Germany has resulted in the 2007 Eroica Riesling. The critics say this wine was definitely a great pairing, resulting in scores ranging from 91-93 points. Check out the reviews belowReviews
91 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, July 2008
The 2007 Eroica Riesling, made in collaboration with the Dr. Loosen estate in Germany's Mosel region, is light to medium straw-colored with fragrant aromas of spring flowers, mineral, and honeysuckle. Crisp and just off-dry, in a Kabinett style, it delivers flavors of melon and pineapple. The wine is balanced and vibrant and may well evolve for several years in the manner of a top German Mosel Kabinett. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 5-7 years.
91 points - Wine Spectator, June 2008
Bright and juicy, with bracing acidity against lightly sweet, expressive pear, apricot and quince aromas and flavors, remaining vibrant as the finish lingers. There's a slate character lurking in the background, too.
93 points - Wine & Spirits, August 1, 2009
Eroica, the joint venture between Dr. Loosen and Chateau Ste. Michelle, produced a focused, ethereal and pure 2007. This vintage is a blend of fruit from Evergreen, Viewcrest, Horse Heaven and other vineyards. Its aromas are all about citrus, with hints of lemon and tangerine, while the taut flavors are more pearlike. A fine, mineral finish gives the wine balance and poise.
