Swedish Hill Vineyard, Finger Lakes (New York) Riesling 2012

Oct 20, 2013

By Rich Cook

A beautifully balanced Riesling that has great complexity and an incredibly long finish that grows in intensity after your palate is empty.  Aromas of delicate white flowers, mild honey and stony minerality are followed by flavors of peach, lime, granite and spice that linger on and on.  It needs no accompaniment, but will be spectacular alongside mild cheeses or grilled chicken.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2013 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
