2009 Reif Estate Riesling Icewine, Niagara River, Ontario: Superb! Aromas of honeyed apricots, tangerine zest and marmalade. Yet there's also a lovely seam of acidity that silver-snakes its way through this wine and maintains a nervy, exciting balance. Pair with: brie or camembert cheeses, citrus-infused cakes and the love of your life. Drink: 2012-2020.
