Hawthorne Mountain Riesling 2003
We had this Hawthorne Mountain Riesling from British Columbia at the annual German Wine Society barbecue, so it was natural to think of it in terms of how it contrasted with a typical German Riesling. It was nice and fruity, with lots of flavour--more flavour, in fact, than many a German Riesling, Ed thought at first, but after noting that it's a whopping 13.2 percent alcohol (many German wines are under 10 percent), he decided it was probably the higher alcohol content that gave that impression. It was also quite dry--dryer than many German wines--but well-balanced. Our rating: 7/10.
