Cave Spring
Cave Spring Vineyard "CSV" Riesling
Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada
Founded by brothers Thomas and Leonard Pennachetti, Cave Spring has become a benchmark estate for several of Niagara's core varieties. My favorites, however, are their Riesling. Their CSV, coming from the oldest blocks of Cave Spring's estate property on the Beamsville Bench, represents the pinnacle of their dry Rieslings. Intensely concentrated, with a pillar of acidity and gripping stony flavors, the wine finds a taut balance between its nervy salinity and pure apple and pear skin flavors.

Great nose with rose petal, lemon/lime, peach, apricot, and a bit of spice. M+ acid, m- body. Dry. Long finish. Refreshing although the fruit is concentrated on the palate.
