This shows the best of what Niagara has to offer in riesling, with a flinty initial nose that reminded judges of some Mosel producers. Look for signature lime and floral notes, great body, gripping acidity and excellent length. A lovely wine — it would pair well with summer salads, smoked salmon, lime-stuffed roast chicken, grilled rich fish or barbecued pork.
