Elk Creek Kentucky Blue Riesling
Growing Area: Kentucky
Vintage: 2010
Price: $11.99 USD
Produced from a smaller vineyard the Elk Creek Kentucky Blue Riesling was very light, almost white in its hue. Scents gave way to sweet herbal, floral, fruit notes.
Tastes had a very sweet beginning with melon, pineapple, and pear flavors that lead to a mineral semi sweet finish, which dissipated on the palate quickly.
I paired the Elk Creek Kentucky Blue Riesling with the following meal:
Honey Breaded Chicken
String Green Beans
Sesame Seed Bread
Overall I give this wine 2 ½ corks out of 5.
Stay tuned as next week I reveal my "Great 8" wines of 2011. It's very difficult to bring the vast amount of wonderful wines down to just 8 however I will be trying. Happy Holidays!
