Henry of Pelham 2005 Reserve Riesling

DescriptionDescription  I have to say there have been very few 2005 Rieslings that I have not liked … word on the street is that the reds of 2005 are going to be excellent, and from what I have tasted so far “THEY” are right again; but little is said about the ’05 Rieslings. They have been trickling out for about a year now, and each one tastes better then the one before. Pelham’s Reserve Riesling is a deliciously smooth appley-peachy number. There’s apples, pears and citrus on the nose, and as it moves through your mouth you’ll find the apple in the front and peach at the back. The screwcap closure means this one will stay fresh as the day it was bottled with no worry of taint … lovely. This wine is selling out quickly – a recent trip to Pelham saw a few dozen bottles on the shelf and I was told, “that’s the last of it.” So time is definitely of the essence here. The LCBO may also have a few bottles left, so keep your eyes open.
