Cave Spring 1997 Indian Summer Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $18

A gorgeous late-harvest Riesling that plays rich apricot fruit perfectly against razor-sharp acidity. Wonderfully rich and complex, showing plenty of botrytis character. Serve on its own or with light desserts. A convincing argument for Canadian winemaking. — J.C. (8/1/1999)

Cave Spring 2009 CSV Estate Bottled Riesling (Beamsville Bench)

Price $25

Thoroughly dry, yet strikingly concentrated, Cave Spring’s CSV marries rich apricot nectar and apple flavors with layers of lime zest, blossom and steel. Whiffs of struck flint and stones reverberate from start to finish, lingering exceptionally long on the palate. — A.I. (4/1/2012)

Cave Spring 2009 Estate Bottled Riesling (Beamsville Bench)

Best Buy

Price $15

Richer in profile than Cave Spring’s standard label Riesling, the Estate Bottled balances densely concentrated apple and honey flavors with layers of chalk dust and petrol. Zippy acidity cuts clean on the finish, leaving just a whisper of lime skin and green florals on the palate. — A.I. (4/1/2012)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

Released only in exceptional vintages, Cave Spring’s Beamsville CSV is a model expression of Canadian Riesling. Perfumed, but not at all cloying, the scent of white, waxy florals and fresh lavender combine effortlessly with notes of honey and petrol on the nose.

Cave Spring 2009 Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Best Buy

Price $12

While initially quite dry, almost bony on the palate, this bang for your buck Riesling intensifies on the midpalate with rich tones of white peach, fresh apple and white pepper spice. Nervy and fresh with lime inflected acidity, it calls out for a soft, creamy, cow’s milk cheese. — A.I. (4/1/2012)

Cave Spring 1999 Ice Wine Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Price $50

Wow, is this sweet—tooth-achingly sweet. The aromas and flavors are relatively pure and free of botrytis; instead you get boatloads of ripe pear and melon flavors, huge thickness and weight, and decent acidity. Almost too rich and sweet for its own good. — J.C. (3/1/2001)

Bright orange and pretty white floral aromas meld luxuriously with a sultry petrol undertone on this Niagara Peninsula Riesling.
