Monday, February 6, 2012HENRY OF PELHAM RESERVE OFF-DRY RIESLING 2009 - VQA Short Hills Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada (#557165) (MD) - $15.95
Candied lime, citrus, mineral, wax and petrol aromas. Tangy citrus, lime, with a slight touch of sweetness on the palate. Bright seam of acidity cuts through the middle. Off-dry. Could be cellared a few more years, but is definitely delicious now. Recommended if you like wines that are slightly sweet. Will be enjoying this with spinach & potatoes.
Very interesting web site you got there. Especially for your Canadian wines!
ReplyDeleteI recently had a Cabernet Franc from Ontario. Unfortunately it wasn’t me. This Riesling seems to be much more attractive. I will try some other Canadian wines as soon as I can lay my hands on a bottle. Cheers ;-)
Thank you for your comments, Oh Dae-su. Personally, I think Cab Franc is better when blended, regardless of Origin. As for Ontario Rieslings - they are VERY good, comparable with the best, I would say.
