Maker: Chalet Debonné, Madison, Ohio
Grape: Riesling
Vintage: 2008
Region: Grand River Valley AVA
ABV: 11%
Appearance: Gold with good legs.
Nose: peach, orange blossom
On the palate: medium bodied, sweet and lightly fruity. Easy going, pairs well with a light supper and does fine on its own on a hot humid night.
Finish: Not much in the way of a finish, but pleasant enough. A bit of sweetness then a slow fade.
Parting words: This is a standard Midwestern Riesling. It’s sort of the Kyle Orton of wine. It might not win the game for you, but it won’t lose it for you either. Refreshing and eminently poundable…err…quaffable. Recommended if the price is right.
