2007 Charles Baker Riesling

I was lucky enough to secure a few bottles of this beautiful Niagara Riesling from Charles Baker. As many of you are aware the 2007 Vintage in Niagara is considered to be the best to date, bar none. This Riesling is a prime example of the exemplariness of the vintage. Using the vineyards of Mark Picone this Rielsing exihibts fresh acidity, a touch of very ripe pear and apple characteristics on the palate. Is in broader than past vintages, in part due to the warmer season of 2007, however it still delivers its long finish with notes of lemon pear.
A great wine to serve with a Lemon Scented Lobster risotto, or if you are a little daring, try it with a wakame crusted duck breast served with poached pear slivers. It will astonish
