Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The 2012 Cooper’s Hawk Riesling has appealing aromas of apricots. It is a medium bodied, med-sweet, fruity wine, with good acidity and a medium, sweet finish. Drink with food; drink now – 2018. My impression: NICE, 88 pts. Tasted at 'Taste Ontario 2013' http://grapeselections.com/taste-ontario-2013/ in October/13.

Gold Medal winner at the 2012 All Canadian Wine Championships. Reminiscent of the Mosel style, this is quite expressive with pear, apple, citrus zest, clay and river stones. Juicy, softly textured and brilliantly fresh, with a good kick of mid-palate acidity and a lingering, lip-smacking finish. A lovely Riesling at a great price. This will make a versatile food wine.
