Featherstone Winery & Vineyard Black Sheep Riesling 2008

Natalie's Review

Featherstone Winery & Vineyard Black Sheep Riesling 2008, V.Q.A., Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada: Vintages Wine Panel: If this Riesling is any indication what the Niagara 2008 whites are going to be like, we are in for a major treat. A vast array of aromas strut their stuff, including melon, pear, peach, limeade and mineral. Just off-dry, it’s fresh with near-perfect balance between the fruit and acids. Medium-bodied with an extensive and complex finish. Age it 2-4 years (though that may be conservative) or enjoy it tonight. My note: Juicy-fantastic! Love this wine. Aromas of mouth-watering peach, apricot, honeysuckle, lime and tangerine zest. Light- or medium-bodied and perfect.  80234  10%  D  750 mL  $16.95  Score: 90/100. August 1, 2009  Full Review
