Greenlane Estate Winery Old Vines Riesling 2010 (Ontario)
SCORE: 91 PRICE: $29.95
Winemaker Dianne Smith has crafted a beauty here. Off-dry yet zesty, it’s plump and full of flavour, with a prominent essence of green apple and nuance of mineral. The regular (non-Old Vines) riesling 2010, at $21.95, is good as well.

On such a nice summer day it is difficult not to want a fresh crisp white wine to relax with. Today is one of those days and a 2010 Greenlane Estates Winery Old Vines Riesling is the wine of choice.
Enjoying a local one from GreenLane Estate Winery, this particular Riesling, which Niagara does superbly, comes from a 22 year old block of Riesling vines, very delish! Tropical/citrus notes with hint of sweetness with good acidity. The PinotGris-Riesling 2010 excellent too with a scrumptious summer salad, own recipe, to die for!

The Greenlane Estate Riesling $21.95 has a fresh nose, citrus and notes of white fruit with a palate that was very fresh, mineral with citrus/melon. A crisp refreshing finish caps it all off.
2007 Cabernet Merlot
Andre Proulx - Wine Review Newstalk 1010
2007 Greenlane Greetings Cabernet/Merlot - $14.95 - VINTAGES 256271 - This is a very good dry to medium bodied red wine from the excellent 2007 Vintage. You are seeing fewer and fewer bottles from this year around so grab it up while you can.
GreenLane Greetings Cabernet Merlot 2007 ($15, 3.5 stars) — Nice blackberry-cherry aromas on the nose of this lighter fruit-forward wine. The fruits get a boost from licorice and spice on the palate.
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Niagara Grapevine Magazine (Inaugural issue/Fall 2010) - Acclaimed wine critic Natalie MacLean (www.natdecants.com) reviews GREETINGS 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon and calls it 'impressive'.
2009 Riesling
GreenLane Greetings Riesling 2009 ($15, 3.5 stars) — Aromas of lime, tropical fruits and some minerals. It’s a fleshy wine in the mouth with a touch of sweetness to go with citrus fruit.
