A Best Buy |
| Gold Medal winner at the 2016 National Wine Awards of Canada. TASTING NOTE: A very classy, perfumed, classically-styled Niagara riesling, full of typical citrus, peach/apricot and apple flavours. The palate is just off-dry, but the impression of sweetness is matched and overtaken by racy, energetic acids that lead to a dry, acidulated finish. An Archetype. Tasted blind at NWAC June 2016. Score - 92 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, Oct. 8, 2015) |
