Wine: 2002 Burnley Vineyards Riesling
Review: Founded in 1976, Burnley Vineyards is one of the oldest wineries in Virginia. I have had this wine sitting in my wine cellar for 4 or 5 years, well beyond the shelf life of most Rieslings.
This wine is made in the Germanic style, it is fermented as cold as possible and then additional Riesling juice is added. This creates a very tropical wine with hints of pineapple and pear. The wine was sweet with a nice, soft finish, although it did feel like the wine was on the edge of turning. Overall, a good value and newer vintages have not increased in price.
Price: $12
Grade: 80
