Brian Gray scored this wine: 94/100

Nose of dark fruit, black raspberry, slight medicinal note of interest. Palette is layered with dense fruit and silky tannins giving the wine a sublime balance and persistence on the finish. Outstanding!

Dense nose of blue and black berries, sweet tobacco and jam. Palette is at once lush, juicy, fresh and fine with silky tannins and long fruity finish. Warming and wonderful on the last day of winter.

Süssreserve

Rosewood Estates Winery & Meadery Süssreserve Riesling 2010

V.Q.A., Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada

Brian Gray scored this wine: 90/100

Nose rich with apricot, citrus and subtle petrol. Palette is creamy, great precision of sweetness and acidity with lingering dried fruit finish. Lovely! I paired this wine with Indian cuisine of dahl, basmati rice and samosas; the counterpoint of food spice and the sweetness of the riesling working well.
