Sort By:

Henry of Pelham 2006 Icewine Riesling (Niagara Escarpment)

Price $55

The seductive nose on this wine reaches right out of the glass and pulls you in. The unctuous palate is pure self-indulgence, with intense notes of peach and mandarin orange. A medium-length finish has enough acidity to carry the high level of residual sugar. — W.E. (12/15/2009)

points

Henry of Pelham 1999 Icewine Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $50

A bit closed at first, then swirling, characteristic Riesling aromas of pears, golden delicious apples and superripe peaches appear. Thick and intense, it’s almost overwhelming in its honeyed richness. Sweet enough to pair with many desserts, but try it with blue-veined cheeses for a special treat. — J.C. (3/1/2001)

points

Henry of Pelham 1998 Botrytis Affected Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $30

Shows ample evidence of botrytis on the apricot-scented nose, with less-dominant aromas of ultraripe pears and peaches blending in. It’s very juicy and fruity, with some lime-like acidity that keeps it fresh. Best with fresh fruits, or try with a foie gras appetizer. — J.C. (3/1/2001)

points

Henry of Pelham 2007 Icewine Cabernet Franc (Short Hills Bench)

Price $40

It is impossible to resist the appeal of the bright watermelon color of this wine. The straightforward nose shows typical Cabernet Franc aromas of strawberry and tobacco leaf while the palate is redolent of ripe honeydew melon. Fresh acidity results in a light impression in the mouth. An impressive effort in a challenging category. — W.E. (12/15/2009)

points

Henry of Pelham 1998 Select Late Harvest Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $23

Peaches and pears, lemons and grapefruits come together in this harmonious late harvest wine that shows little evidence of botrytis. The high acidity gives it balance and makes it a great foil for fruit-garnished foie gras. — J.C. (3/1/2001)

points

Henry of Pelham 1999 Special Select Late Harvest Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $25

Vidal has a peculiar bouquet that I have a hard time describing. This one boasts muskmelon, litchi and kumquat aromas, backed by a honeyed sweetness and grapefruit-like acids. Intense—verging on overblown—this is a fine example of what this French-American hybrid is capable of producing. — J.C. (3/1/2001)

points

Henry of Pelham 2004 Icewine Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $50

Spicy, floral and with a touch of minerality, this is poised and layered. It’s dense and honeyed on the palate but overall, has a balanced, attractive character. Imported by Bayfield Importing, Ltd. — S.K. (12/1/2007)

points

Henry of Pelham 2006 Reserve Riesling (Short Hills Bench)

Price $13

A soft and elegant nose of apple and citrus, followed by a dry and spicy palate, recommend this reserve wine from Pelham. The wine wants a touch more complexity but aging may allow for more layers to develop. — S.K. (9/1/2007)
