Average final score from judges at the 2022 National Wine Awards of Canada. Tasted blind June 2022.

I'd love to get this in a blind taste test as it oozes Beamsville Bench Riesling typicity. Nicely aromatic with white flowers, green apple, stone fruit, tangerine, waxy lanolin, honey and petrol from the warm 2020 vintage. And steely minerality in spades. Similar flavours on the palate. The mouthfeel has texture and the finish is very long. The acidity RS balance is spot on landing in the off-dry realm while retaining a juicy vibrancy. Love it! Dec. 2024

Lovely, highly aromatic nose of petrol, lemon/lime citrus, and peach notes. It's medium-full bodied on the palate, and quite fat with very good, impressive concentration. The lovely aroma replays are off-dry, and supported by crisp, balanced acidity. Excellent length on the long, satisfying finish. Tasted Apr. 2023. Score: 92+ pts
