| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CAVE SPRING |
| Pale straw colour. Slightly spicy, ripe lemon-melon nose with some mineral notes. Dry, medium to medium-light bodied, fairly fleshy, ripe lemon-melon flavours with a crisp, lingering, mineral-tinged finish. Still a bit restrained - will improve. Better than the 2007 (**/**+) released on July 4, 2009 at $29.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 08 version of this wine will undoubtedly be counted among the best from the CSV vintages. It s youthful on the nose and tightly wound but showing exotic tropical fruit aromas to go with profound talc and mineral notes. It s made with slightly more residual sugar to balance out the high acids and reveals white peach, grapefruit, tropical and apple fruits that are playfully sweet and tart in the mouth. The minerality of this wine is just starting to poke through the rousing fruit flavours. Should age beautifully. Score 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) (Rick VanSickle, www.winesinniagara.com, March 24, 2010) |
