Tightrope Winery Riesling 2012
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis wine first crossed our radar at the National Wine Awards, wherein the week-long blind tasting it was admired by the judging panel, most of whom had never tasted it before. It won several awards, and I’m happy to say it is standing up to the praise eight years down the road. At this point, the Vaseline/petrol component permeates a lemon, mineral undercurrent, but it's all holding together and, of course, benefiting from these well-developed secondary and tertiary flavours. It is as good as it gets at this point, but under screwcap will hold on for years yet. Now best with more lavish menu items, like pork or wild game. Go Naramata.
