Wine of the Week 1994 Mission Hill Grand Reserve Riesling

Praise be to Nigel for picking up a bottle of this fantastic Riesling from the Mission Hill winery library. Deep golden in colour, it zips with crisp citric acidity. So much so, in fact, that you could cellar this for several more years. On the nose we found petrol, lemon zest, lemon meringue pie filling, and honeysuckle. After decanting, there was a touch of cotton candy, too. If you're planning a trip to Kelowna this summer, it's worth a stop in Westbank to ask the Somellier to open up the vault.
