| 75 | | | 94 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Sitting at some 924 feet above sea level, the Isolation Ridge Vineyard was planted in 1988, a maturing vineyard. About 216 miles south of Perth, the viticultural region formed around the long Frankland River began in 1969 as a fine grape producer, and today is one of Australia’s rising stars. Its cool climate yields elegantly styled Shiraz as well as good Riesling. Aromas on this example show the classic petrol characters often found in Rieslings over time. Medium-bodied, this is a dry white wine with a pale straw color. The delicious classic Riesling flavors nip at a wide variety of fruit characters, suggesting green apple, mango, lime peel and white apricot, and conclude in a long, dry finish. Gifted with outstanding complexity, this is one yummy Riesling. Savor it slightly cooled, about 55ºF/13ºC, in tall tulip-shaped glasses with any kind of smoked foods, especially smoked salmon wrapped around herbed cream cheese, smoked white fish, smoked liver pâté, smoked pork chops, cured salmon with mustard/dill sauce; fish baked in beer and served with a mustard white sauce; pork steaks with mustard cream sauce; apple-stuffed pork loin, veal or chicken in cream sauce, creamy cheeses.
