Pillitteri Estates Winery 2004 Riesling Icewine   

Hits:557
Rating:Nº votes
Date added;:09.Oct.2007
Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  Pillitteri devotes 55% of their production to icewine … that’s a lot of frozen grapes and a lot riding on the hope of minus-10 degree weather, but when it works it pays off – and Pillitteri has many icewines that pay off handsomely; like this one right here. This Riesling is smooth and luscious in the mouth and a wine you could just sit and sniff all night long, if the taste weren’t so darn tasty. Dominated by apples and pears on the nose, with hints of sweet apricot and peaches lingering in the background. The palate offers up those apricots and peaches with a honeyied/caramelized coating and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Tempted yet? You should be – it’s delicious!
