Tantalus Riesling 2013

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIf there is an icon label in BC, and I hate that moniker, its Tantalus riesling with its signature acidity that provides a foundation every wine would want. Wild floral notes and warm, wet, stony, mineral aromas greet you up front. Peachy guava, mineral flavours flood the palate and while it looks a bit one-dimensional today this bottle will grow and live for decades. The estate riesling is made from six separate vineyard blocks ranging in age from 5 to 36 years. A fabulous food wine from pork to fish and beyond.Tasted: 05 September 2014Tasted by: Prices:
