This wonderful, rich tasting wine is one of the best Canadian wines I have had for a while. Too bad it is gone.
Tasting it May 2012. Petrol note of gracefully aging German Rheingau with good orchard fruit. Intensity of Spaetlese, but sweetness of Kabinett (translation - not too sweet). it looks like age has toned down the sweetness. Love it, Canada can really do stunning Riesling. Celebrity equivalent: Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.
A beautiful Riesling. I took it to a party and drank most of it. Oops. Off-dry with long finish. It's a great expression of how well this grape performs here in Ontario!

For the girlfriend. She’s bright, fresh, and juicy. So is this wine. Wrap it up with Adele’s CD and hope she is 1 of 100 people who don’t already own i

Great petrol, rubber character on the nose which repeats on the palate along with some nice citrus fruit and good acidity. Nice finish. Tasted Jan 2014
grapefruit sweetness. Off-dry. Aromatics with lime.
2010 vintage. Lime, citrus aromas and hints of lemon with replays on the smooth, full-bodied palate. Finishes clean and off-dry. Quite nice. Tasted June 2012.

A good Riesling, apple tones, somewhat sweet. Not excellent and the value is questionable. Good typicity.
Too sweet
