Wine: Windham Winery 2004 Riesling
Review: At 12% this Riesling has a higher alcohol content than most Rieslings. This may be because of the Vidal Blanc blended into it. It is a crisp Riesling, but the flavor is a little bland, it is not as fruity as most Rieslings. The 2004 growing season was particularly good to Virginia vineyards, especially coming off a very dry 2003 season. The strong harvest means a powerful Riesling taste, but the flavor of the grapes overpowered the more subtle flavorings.
Still, a good wine, but not a great wine.
Price: $15.00
Grade: 75
