About the Wine: Most Rieslings made for the American market are very sweet. Late harvest (wine made from grapes left on the vine long enough to develop more sugar) and ice wine (made from grapes picked after the first frost) are usually the most accessible the American palate. Dry and semi dry Rieslings offer a dryer version of the taste and flavor of this distinctive wine.
About THIS Wine: Light and luminous in the glass, Cold Creek has a nose of lemon, orange, and pear. The palate is dry with crisp lemon, melon, and mango notes. The finish is light but lingering.
Drinking This Wine: Very good with white fish or as a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: This is not the most approachable wine I have ever had, but it is a good representation of a semi dry Riesling. At seventeen dollars it is good for the price.
